Mrs Hudson

Stepping out of Victorian legend and into Bronze Age comics, Mrs Hudson made her four-color debut in The Rook Magazine #10 in 1981, brought to life by Will Richardson, Kevin Duane, and Anton Caravana for Malibu. She moves through some extraordinarily distinguished company — sharing pages with Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade, and Irene Adler across titles like Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet — which tells you exactly the caliber of storytelling she inhabits. With appearances tracked across nearly two decades through 2000, she's a quiet constant in Malibu's faithful rendering of the Holmes universe, the kind of character whose presence signals that a creative team cares about getting the whole world right, not just the famous detective at its center.
