Bixby: Listen, Cap, the whole trick with a superhero's death is when to bring him back. If you come back too soon, people will say it was a sales gimmick. On the other hand, if you wait too long, they'll forget and won't care if you return. Captain Victorious: Geez, when did death get so commercial? Bixby: It's a surprisingly good way to make a living.

Yeah, Elvis missed the “sweet spot” and waited too long. So he decided to just stay “dead”.

Hmmm, I’d say probably December 1893 to August 1901. Sherlock Holmes, my dear Cap, Sherlock Holmes. He “died” in 1893 in The Final Problem and then was brought back almost ten years later in the first part of The Hound of the Baskervilles. Strand Magazine lost 20,000 subscribers over Holmes’ death in protest, and many Holmes fans wrote Conan Doyle in protest of his killing his most popular character. August 1901 Holmes returned to Strand Magazine in the first part of the serialised The Hound of the Baskervilles which would run until April 1902 (1902 would see the story also published as a full novel). Big bucks in the return of Sherlock Holmes.

Well, in Death of Captain America he wasn’t ever completely dead so not sure how time matters …
