On the Case with Holmes and Watson

In 2010, Lerner Publishing Group launched On the Case with Holmes and Watson, a comic series that adapts classic Sherlock Holmes mysteries for a younger audience. Running for 14 issues, the series reimagines the iconic detective and his partner through accessible, illustrated storytelling, making Victorian-era crime-solving approachable for new readers. While the series focuses on fidelity to Arthur Conan Doyle's original plots, its clean art style and concise dialogue prioritize clarity over atmosphere. It matters as a thoughtful early-reader gateway into both comics and literary detective fiction.
