John Watson

Few characters in literary history carry as much beloved baggage as John Watson, and this Copper Age incarnation — brought to life in 1990 by Donne Avenell and Francisco Agrás for Semic's Agent X9 — offers a fascinating glimpse of that legacy filtered through the European comics tradition. Sharing the page with none other than Sherlock Holmes himself, Watson appears in Agent X9 and Seriemagasinet extra, lending his familiar presence to a publishing world that clearly had a taste for classic detective fiction. With only three catalog appearances across a brief 1990–1991 window, this is a rare, collector-worthy find — a small but intriguing corner of comics history for anyone who loves the great detective's world rendered in ink and panels.
