Kid Sherlock is a Detective Comic Book by Justin Phillips, Sean Miller, and Lesley Atlansky.
John Watson is an anthropomorphic dog who recently transferred to Baker Elementary School. Being the only dog student, as soon as he shows up, he's immediately made an outcast. The only real exception is Sherlock Holmes, the local Kid Detective who investigates strange goings-on around school.
Together, the two become the school's sleuthing team. They deal with bullies, find lost toys, investigate stolen school equipment, and may even face a threat to the very school itself.
The comic was released on June 14th, 2017.
