Title, series, publisher, artist, and year are confirmed. Domingo García Rodríguez's credits include "Sherlock Holmes. Colección Minihistorietas. Editorial Pablo de la Torriente, 1986," followed by the three-volume "Aventuras de Sherlock Holmes" for the same publisher (Vol. I 1987, Vol. II 1988, Vol. III 1989); he was the brother of historietista Felipe García Rodríguez. This 1986 Minihistorietas issue precedes that later three-volume run.
