Hound of the Baskervilles
Sherlock Holmes, with his brilliant, logical mind, has become the most famous detective in fiction. Here, amid the wild and lonely moors of Devonshire, he faces one of his most intriguing cases. The young Sir Henry Baskerville faces a fearful spectre that brings certain death - the Hound of the Baskervilles.
Is this devilish creature the manifestation of a family curse? Or is Sir Henry the victim of a vile and scheming murderer?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes in 'A Study in Scarlet'. This initial success was quickly followed by a second story, 'The Sign of Four'. Thereafter Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Doctor Watson featured in many further tales.

I've not read a comic, or in modern parlance, a graphic novel, since days of yore but I must confess the experience was quite exciting, in that it not only gave me a different view of a novel that I know well but it took me back to the days when I read the Beano, Dandy, Tiger, with Roy of the Rovers, and that was certainly evocative.
The interpretation of Holmes and Watson is somewhat different than the more traditional images one imagines but the storyline (rather strangely translated from the Spanish for this edition) remains faithful to the book.
The artwork adds to the tale and it was a good experience going from frame to frame to see the story unfolding. And at the end Holmes tells us that this was his greatest case!

I didn't realise I had read it 14 years ago! Anyway, spotted it on the shelves and I am always keen to read adapted versions of classics if only to see how the adapter has handled the storyline. I notice in the review above I noted that the storyline remained faithful to the book. On a second reading I would rather say that it remains relatively faithful to the original for I do feel there are subtle differences. And as for the interpretation of Holmes and Watson I will refine that to say that it is the visual interpretation of Holmes and Watson that is significantly different to how Conan Doyle and Sidney Paget treated them in the original. However the story is told it is still a thriller!
