Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet

In 1989, Innovation Comics launched a single-issue adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's foundational detective novel, A Study in Scarlet, scripted by Jim Stenstrum and illustrated by Noly Panaligan. This comic faithfully translates the first meeting of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, bringing the fog-bound streets of Victorian London to the paneled page. While the series concluded with that lone issue, it stands as a concise, visually-driven entry point for readers discovering the Great Detective's earliest literary case.
