Mrs Hudson

The famously unflappable landlady of 221B Baker Street, Mrs Hudson keeps house for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, appearing in comics adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective stories alongside Holmes, Watson, Lestrade, and Irene Adler.

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.
