[Gerry · Rating 4 out of 5]

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!
