"Alias Sheer-luck Holmes" is a clever 1961 adventure from Four Color #1249, where a stage performer named Danny turns a real-life theft into a theatrical act—only to find his joke has serious consequences when the thief, Trafalgar Terry, takes him hostage. With Russ Manning handling both art and inks, the story blends humor and suspense in a London-set mystery that’s as sharp as it is surprising.
