Sexton Blake is a fictional character, a detective who has been featured in many British comic strips, novels, and dramatic productions since 1893. As the years passed, Blake’s character experienced various permutations. He was originally created to be similar to earlier 19th-century detectives but during the late 1890s, Blake’s authors consciously modeled him on Sherlock Holmes.

Sexton Blake adventures were featured in a wide variety of British and international publications (in many languages) from 1893 to 1978, comprising more than 4,000 stories by some 200 different authors. Blake was also the hero of numerous silent and sound movies, radio serials, and a 1960s ITV television series.
