Sherlock Holmes In The Case of The Missing Martians
Sherlock Holmes and Martians! It sounds crazy but according to the history laid down by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he and Doctor Watson lived at 221b Baker Street between 1881-1904, so they would have likely been in London during the invasion of 1900. This is not even the first time the great detective has gone up against the Martian foe, (Manly and Wade Wellman wrote a story in 1969) but it's the only time such a story has been immortalised in illustrated form.
The story is actually set in 1908, though the chronology seems a little messed up, as it is stated this is 14 years after the invasion. England has recovered from the Martian attack and at the British Museum the board of trustees are arriving for a preview of a major new exhibition about the invasion. But something has gone terribly wrong. A glass display case containing a seemingly dead Martian has been smashed open. Mysterious tracks move away from the case, and the terrified guard will only say that the thing inside went for a walk. Naturally the police are baffled, so Watson is dispatched to the Sussex Downs where Holmes is engaged in mysterious and secret experiments.
