Batman variously teamed up with The Shadow, Captain America, The Spirit,

later worked with Sam Spade; the Nyctalope teamed up with Professor
Quatermass; Bulldog Drummond combined forces with Richard Hannay for one
last adventure; Nero Wolfe, Ellery Queen, Lord Peter, Perry Mason, and

just about everyone... ...To the Twenty-first Century, when

the Lost World; Witchblade and the Darkness joined forces with

detective Sunny Randall came together; and a modern-day Van Helsing went
up against the current incarnation of the Black Coats... ...To the
far-flung future, when Spock claimed Holmes as an ancestor and Ishmael
flew with the wind whales... Crossovers is a massive timeline of
