What's your favorite story featuring non-canonical happenings for well known characters?
(This question was prompted by reading Into the Great Unknown from Star Wars Tales #19...a story that covers the death of Han Solo, the truth about where the legend of the Sasquatch came from...and some guy named "Dr. Jones".)

I haven't read it in over a decade, but I remember really liking "The Seven Percent Solution." I'm a big Holmes fan, so I expected the story not to live up to its source, but it really surprised me. Of course, you'd never mistake it for a Doyle original. But the author was able to make the story his own in a way that was faithful to the canon without devolving into imitation or parody.
Of course, I might feel differently if I read it again today, but that's how I remember it.
