There's a graphic novel and it's part of "Shadows Over Baker Street," which is a Holmes - HP Lovecraft anthology. It's really great, in both forms (it won a Hugo), and the other stories in the print anthology range from ok to also-good.

as part of his Wold-Newton universe. This was long before League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I loved it as a kid. The Sherlock Holmes novel was "The Adventure of the Peerless Peer". The novel described a meeting of Holmes and Tarzan.

I love the Sherlock Holmes / Mary Russell series, by Laurie R. King. Mary Russell is a teenaged girl that Holmes meets in his bee-keeping retirement in the years before WWI. He then trains her in his "methods".

Another great book is Kareem Abdul-Jabar's Mycroft Holmes, about Sherlock's smarter older brother during his years just out of Cambridge. There's a new one, Mycroft and Sherlock, but I haven't read it yet.

Anthony Horowitz wrote two: The House of Silk and Moriarty, which were fantastic. Oh, and Lyndsay Faye's The Whole Art of Detection.
