[Andrew999]

The success of the new Perry Mason TV show that represents Perry in his earlier hard-boiled detective guise, reminded me that the Raymond Burr TV show was regular viewing in our household when I was a child.

But what about comic books? I never saw one as a child but I've since learned that two of his cases were made into comic books by David McKay Publications in the 40s; a two-year comic strip existed in the fifties - and Dell produced two issues in the 60s.

Is that it? Surely, Perry is worth more than that?

Some good news is that Erle Stanley Gardner falls out of copyright on January 1st, 2021 in Canada. As that country still has the 50-year rule (at least until the screws are turned next year to comply with the new US trade act), hopefully someone will reproduce Erle's work on fadedpage.com or Project Gutenberg Canada before it's too late.

Its very hard to find any of Gardner's work that isn't Perry Mason. And that's the work I prefer.
Re Perry Mason comics. I haven't found the Mckay ones - thanks for the tip. Dell published two issues in 1964.
[I don't recognise the artist(s) on these. the artists are good, but the comics are of the TV show and for comics are quite dull]
We don't have those on this site, but!
We do have a comprehensive selection of Radio episodes - which you will find here.

Along with some interesting information.
There was a Perry Mason comic strip also. Art by Mel Keefer and Charles Lofgren. Its possible Gardner wrote the strip himself, as it was signed and 'Gardner had a hand in anything that had his name attached to it.' But there is no information about it. Whoever wrote it was a novice and in the first three strips you can see the writer learning his craft. The strip only went for 8 episodes and was cancelled in 1952. Four of these were collected in a Volume 'Perry Mason - four cases of Murder' along with an excellent essay on the subject. Edited by Tom Mason [No relation] and published by Malibu Graphics. [Also no relation]
There was also a Perry Mason comic published in the Netherlands. I know nothing about it. 
Some of Gardner's other characters were: - 'Sidney Zoom and his police dog', 'Lester Leith, the Robin hood of detectives', "Senor Logo' 'Sydney Griff' 'The patent leather kid' 'Speed Dash' 'DA Douglas Selby' and my favorites, of which he wrote 29 books, ' Donald Lam and Bertha Cool'
One of the best books on Gardner would be
'The case of the real Perry Mason' by Dorothy B Hughes.
Also,
'The Amazing Adventures of Lester Leith' Dial Press 1980 represents 5 Lester Leith stories.
A collection of Sidney Zoom stories, 'The Casebook of Sidney Zoom' edited by Bill Pronzini. I haven't read it but I intend to, Zoom sounds like the Saint with the attitude of the Shadow. Sounds like my kind of character! 'His soul craved combat,as the soul of many men craved Strong Drink!' 
His best know pseudonym was 'A A. Fair'

I have a scan of one of the newspaper strips, "The Case of The Missing Husband".  Let me know if any of you fancy it, but I'm sure some of you know where to find it.
This short entry from Lambiek:-

I can't find anything on a Dutch version.  Not sure if it was a translation or original Dutch .  A number of American strips were reprinted in the likes of JEEP Comics and OVERSEAS Comics, which were not for sale comics, distributed to American troops in The Netherlands.
