Sherlock Holmes in the Case of the Missing Martian

In 1990, Malibu Comics launched this four-issue miniseries, a playful genre mashup that transplants Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective into a science-fiction mystery. Written by Howard Mackie and illustrated by Tom Grindberg, the story pits Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson against a perplexing case involving a missing Martian and the eerie secrets of Victorian London's supernatural underbelly. It's a clever, self-contained experiment that stands out for its fusion of classic deductive logic with pulp-era space-age intrigue.
