A ​sátán kutyája

by J.R. Parks (Adapter), Arthur Conan Doyle, Vinod Kumar (Illustrator)

Amikor Sir Charles Baskerville-t holtan találják a mocsár közelében, mindenki úgy véli, szívinfarktus végzett vele. Dr. Mortimer azonban más véleményen van. Úgy gondolja, bármilyen lehetetlennek is tűnik, egy természetfeletti lény kutya képében kísért a lápvidéken. Elmélete szerint a szörnyűséges fenevad már évek óta a környéken kószál, és a Baskerville család férfi tagjaira vadászik.
Amikor az utolsó áldozat unokaöccse hazatér Kanadából, hogy átvegye az örökségét, dr. Mortimer Sherlock Holmeshoz fordul segítségért. Minden jel arra utal, hogy a gyilkosságoknak addig nem lesz vége, amíg a család minden férfi tagja meg nem hal – vagy amíg valaki ki nem deríti az igazságot.
Sherlock Holmes, a páratlan detektív, jó barátja, dr. Watson és egy izgalmas, rejtélyekkel teli történet – ez teszi Sir Arthur Conan Doyle regényét, feledhetetlen olvasmánnyá.

Can I just say this is a review of the graphic novel adaptation, not the original story which is one of my favourites (5 stars).
Really liked this but I will always prefer the original as (inevitably) the story needed to be condensed for this adaptation.

Wow. Prostě wow. Od začátku do konce jsem četla jak zažraná. Za mě super. Jen někdy jsem se do toho malinko zamotávala.

Takžeee, komiksové zpracování se mi velmi líbilo, brala bych ho u každé povinné četby. Jakoby tady ten příběh znám, takže jsem od toho nečekala nic převratně nového, ale třeba mě překvapilo, že to vypráví Watson. Jinak líbilo se mi taky, že tam nebylo nějaký zbytečný okecávání a hned se šlo na příběh, ale tak ono když to má 60 stran, tak by se to tam asi úplně nevešlo. Overall celkem v pohodě počteníčko na půl hoďky.

Příjemně mě to překvapilo - 4★

Komiksová ilustrace byla docela fajnová, jen jsem pořád postavu Sherlocka a Watsona porovnávala k té verzi ze seriálu od bbc🤨. Takže když je tam Watson nakreslenej jako dědula s knírkem a postavou santy clause, tak jsem to úplně nebrala vážně. Jinak se to příjemně četlo, bylo to rychlý a šlo to pochopit. Docela by mě teďko zajímalo přečíst si tu full story, protože ten námět je překvapivě dobrej??škoda jen, že to mam teď jakoby vyspoilerovaný..

Brisk but enjoyable. An adaptation you can get through in one day. Some beautiful period artwork.

This is one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes novels. It is adventurous, mysterious and looks supernatural in the beginning. But you know there’s always a rational solution. There’s a legend, and a curse of the Baskerville family. It is about a vicious huge, wolflike beast, who wants to kill all the members of the Baskerville family. Sir Charles Baskerville dies near the swamp, accompanied by a terrible sound. And here comes he’s heir, Sir Henry. He inherited the whole wealth of the Baskerville family. But he’s life in danger, the locals believe in the curse, and they warn Sir Henry to leave, but instead he asks the help of Sherlock Holmes. He resolves the puzzle. One of the neighbors (Mr. Stapleton) is also an heir for the Baskerville fortune, but he is the son of a dangerous criminal, and also himself is a criminal and an impostor so he can’t just ask for his heritage, he wants it all, so he has to kill Sir Henry. So he relies on the curse, buys a huge dog, put phosphorus on it’s eyes, and mouth to look like the hound of Baskerville as it is in the curse... Sir Charles died of heart attack as he heard and saw the hound... and now Mr. Stapleton wants to kill Sir Henry with the hound, but Sherlock interferes and saves Sir Henry.

Knížku jsem četla nejdříve v klasickém formátu a velmi se mi líbila. Komiksové zpracování klasického díla mi přišlo také velmi povedené (i když nejsem pravidelný čtenář komiksů). Ilustrace jsou příjemné, především vykreslení blat je velmi věrně zachyceno, také se mi líbilo znázornění Watsona (u Holmese nadšení nesdílím). Komiks se úplně nedrží předlohy, respektive řada věcí je vynechána, ale podstava a sdělení příběhu je zachováno, a to je podle mě podstatné.

The illustrations are rather generic, but I enjoyed the classic story. At the end of the story, the detectives describe the infamous Hound as a "bloodhound/mastiff" cross--I wondered if perhaps it was actually a "Cuban bloodhound"--a once-infamous animal used in the US to attack escaping slaves and similar to fighting/hunting breeds like the presa canario.

The story won't change, but lately I have been interested in rereading illustrated versions of my favourites. This is a review of the adaptation published by Campfire. The story is adapted by J.R. Parks, and illustrated by Vinod Kumar.

(The original by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of course, will always be five stars.)

Whatta comic experience! My weekend is sickly "booked". Bought this comic book coz I really love Sherlock Holmes. And The Hound of Baskervilles is very popular in the lycantrophy/lupine literature. I recalled how Barb Karg thrashed out the details of this piece of art in her Werewolf Guide book. It was a nice short read! Talk about comic relief!

"Bir ipucu ne kadar sıra dışı ve tuhaf görünüyorsa üzerine gidilmeyi o kadar hak ediyor demektir." Sherlock Holmes

Serimizin 5.kitabında tek bir olay roman uzunluğunda anlatılmakta. Biraz fantastik esintiler katmak isteyen yazarımız aslan büyüklüğünde bir köpek ile heyecanı ve sürükleyiciliği arttırmış. Daha az bilgi daha çok gizem katmak istemiş. Keyifle okudum diyebilirim.

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

A serviceable, but unexciting adaptation. The artist probably could have used more visual references to get the period details right.

[Shannon]

Hm. I read the actual version in 2010 or so, and then the graphic novel version in 2012... I don't know why they're coming up as the same...

Very good adaption of original work. Very impressive illustrations.

Well, Watson, what do you make of It?

[Adrian · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Hound of the Baskervilles is probably my favourite Sherlock Holmes tale. This is a lovely graphical novel adaptation, which does the story justice.

Ilk dort kitabina nazaran besincisi olan baskervillenin kopegi, doktor watson'in rolunun daha buyuk oldugu ve daha uzun bir hikaye aginin orulmesi ile diger kitaplarindan ayrilan bir roman olmus.
