Basil détective privé

In 1986, Hachette launched Basil détective privé, a single-issue French comic that reimagines the world of Sherlock Holmes through the lens of Disney's Great Mouse Detective. Written by François Corteggiani and illustrated by Giorgio Cavazzano, this standalone adventure follows the titular mouse sleuth and his trusted sidekick as they tackle a case in Victorian London. While brief, it stands as a charming European curio, capturing the duo's signature blend of mystery and lighthearted humor in a format that remains a unique entry in the character's publication history.
