Sherlock Junior

Sidney Smith’s Sherlock Junior (Malibu, 1990–present) is a compact three-issue series that reimagines the classic detective’s young sidekick as a pint-sized sleuth in his own right. Written and drawn entirely by Smith, this lighthearted, all-ages romp stands as a quirky, self-contained footnote in the early-’90s indie comics boom—a brief but charming experiment in handing the magnifying glass to a kid.
