Publication history
Publication history
The series consists of two story arcs "Honour Among Punks" written by Reed and Davis and "Children of the Night" written by Davis alone, who also provided the bulk of the art (with some early fill-in inking).
Plot
Plot
Baker Street features an alternative Sherlock Holmes world where the values and class system of Victorian era England carried over into a late 20th century where World War II never occurred. The story mainly concerns a group of punks attempting to solve a series of murders reminiscent of the Jack the Ripper killings of the late 19th century.
