The Sherlock Holmes Society of London reviews The Hound of the Baskervilles – A Sherlock Holmes Graphic Novel

"The Hound of the Baskervilles , adapted and illustrated by Petr Kopl (MX Publishing; www.mxpublishing.co.uk; 12 December) is clever, funny, beautiful and brilliant. It’s the first in Mr Kopl’s Victoria Regina series ( A Scandal in Bohemia is the fourth). Don’t be surprised to find the narrative intersecting with the events of Dracula , The Lost World , Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde  and even Rossum’s Universal Robots , as well as other exploits of Holmes and Watson. Look closely at the illustrations and you’ll see all sorts of unexpected details — though you may be too engrossed in the story on first reading.”

The Hound of The Baskervilles – A Sherlock Holmes Graphic Novel is available from all good bookstores including   Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Waterstones UK, and for free shipping worldwide Book Depository .

Barbara Piper This was not the Sherlock Holmes Society of London's review, but a note by Roger Johnson in the SHSL newsletter, the District Messenger. I'm sure this new graphic novel is an excellent production, but we might let other members of the SHSL weigh in before attributing Roger's view to all of them collectively.
