I was kind of hoping that you (or someone else) knew of a story where he met Holmes.<br /><br />Tesla was as close to a Victorian/Pulp mad scientist as there ever was in the real world so it's only natural he would have several adventures in the CU.<br /><br />I forgot to mention this in my first post, but in the last story mentioned in the book, Watson got a Zulu dagger in Afghanistan? Zulus don't live in Afghanistan. Did he get it from another soldier?Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401214402679376943.post-75714738455632264032016-02-13T16:00:05.060-08:002016-02-13T16:00:05.060-08:00Cool.

Besides the Callahan's connection, he created Atomic Robo, he's one of the main characters of The Five Fists of Science, and he met Tarzan, Doctor Omega, and Secret Agent X. He probably has other appearances in the CU I'm forgetting.Sean Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338199695708410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401214402679376943.post-1973242351239316132016-02-13T15:53:20.746-08:002016-02-13T15:53:20.746-08:00I'm reading Lady Slings the Booze by Spider Ro...I'm reading Lady Slings the Booze by Spider Robinson. Win included it in Crossovers with Crocodile Dundee and Jeeves reference. This contains some minor spoilers below. It wouldn't ruin the book, but there is a revelation near the end that if not a major plot point is certainly surprising.<br /><br /><br />I did notice a passage in which the main character Joe Quigley is asked if he's some kind of consulting detective like Sherlock Holmes.<br /><br />The character asking the question is the still alive Nikola Tesla. The dialogue is like they are referencing a real person not a fictional character. It's possible that Tesla met Sherlock Holmes or at least knew about him.<br /><br />There are a few other references to Holmes but they are slop references.<br /><br />Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.com
