Topic: Favorite Holmesian story?

(2 messages)

I just re-read Muppet Sherlock Holmes, and got to wondering about Disney comic stories with the classic ducks or mice that are riffing on Sherlock Holmes. Do you have a favorite Holmesian story? (with Donald's kin or Mickey/Goofy, not the Great Mouse Detective or the Muppets)

My personal favorites are:
The Hound of Basketville by Vic Lockman/Tony Strobl (WDC 300)--some nostalgia at play here, I've known this one since childhood

Daisy Holmes e lo studio in rosso by Claudia Salvatori/Stefano Intini (I have this one in its French version in Minnie Mag 29)

Surefoot Jones by Don Markstein/Noel Van Horn (MM 261)

Would you vote for one of the "Mickey and the Sleuth" series? Or a story with Shamrock Bones? (I just did a Holmes search on the forum, and found that member WB thinks that Shamrock Bones is a much more interesting Sherlock Holmes parody than the Sleuth.) Has anyone read Gorm Transgaard's "An Impossible Crime"?

I'm not including "Hound of the Whiskervilles" on my list, because while it riffs on Holmes's giant hound, it doesn't really riff on Holmes.

I really dig the Sleuth stories, especially the early ones drawn by Al Hubbard. I remember a few stories in which the protagonists are sporting deerstalkers, but I wouldn't necessarily call those Holmesian.
