But Wolfe is the wrong time period, isn't he?

The first one was written in 1934, but the last was written in about 1977, and he never aged more than a few years during that time. You could probably get away with it.

He's the Maggie Simpson of Detective Drama!

I haven't read nearly as much Nero Wolfe as I'd have liked. I was trapped in Samoa for a month once, and the house I was staying in had a couple of the books... and I think I read just about every book in the house

But that's about it.

What would you say to Adrian Monk as a modern-day equivalent, Piratecat? Brilliant but... well, with issues.

Allan Quatermain, was a hunter that turned his back on the empire and worked just for the money. In the comic he is also a opium addict.

Mina harker was a divorced woman shock and held relations with questionable foreigners.

Yes, but not "villains" either.

Edit - as for all being British, the Three Musketeers and d'Artagnan were members of a previous incarnation of the League, and they're French

[Maldur]

Well Nemo is not really a villian either.

You can argue that case for Dr Jekhyl as well.

Ok Griffin, he is pure bastard
