Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes has been adapted numerous times in books, plays, movies, television, and comic books.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant sleuth and master of condescending repartee comes to the world of comics in this collection of newspaper strips from the 1950s reprinted by Eternity Comics. Since the series was originally published in newspapers, the panel layout is horizontal and necessitates the book be printed in “landscape” orientation.

Accompanied by his faithful, but often befuddled aide, Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes retains all of the incredible powers of observation and deduction that he is famous for from books and movies. The strip was written by Edith Meiser and drawn by Frank Giacoia, who went on to ink such luminaries as Carmine Infantino and Ross Andru.

THIS ITEM WAS NOT SOLD IN ANY MASS MARKET RETAIL OUTLETS AND WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY STORES.

Published in 1988 by Eternity Comics.
