To do so, they had to produce a copy of the comic for the Trademark Office. As inventive as comic people are, they found a loophole in the method of submitting a book. They would print up a cover, <I>usually</B></I> black and white, using previously used artwork, and slap a new logo on it. They would take the new cover, wrap it around a coverless, previously issued comic, and voila... instant trademark. This ashcan is of extreme importance showing that DC trademarked the title <B>Superboy</B></I> a full three years before the character was even conceived, and seven years before the title actually appeared. Since <B>Superboy</B></I> did not yet exist, the cover used was from <B>Detective</B></I> #57. Ashcans are still under-valued considering their importance and rarity, so jump on the bandwagon and throw a bid at this one. <B>Estimate: $5,000-up</B> </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><!--<a name="PricesRealized"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#79735C"> <a name="PR"> <font face="arial" size="3" color="#FFFFFF"> <b>Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions</b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#F6F6ED"> No Prior Data Recorded </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <font face="arial" size="1""> PLEASE NOTE: All prices realized reflect the final hammer price PLUS the buyer's premium in auctions that charge a buyer's premium.
