Hound of the Baskervilles: A Sherlock Holmes Graphic Novel

Description

"What is the meaning of it all, Holmes?" "It is murder, Watson..." A gnarled walking-stick; a missing boot; a neglected family portrait; a convicted killer on the loose - and the ancestral curse of a phantom Hound... The great detective Sherlock Holmes needs all his powers of "elementary" deduction - as well as the staunch support of his devoted friend Dr. Watson - to solve the terrifying mystery of his most famous case... This atmospheric graphic novel adaptation by Ian Edginton and I.N.J. Culbard - the team behind this series' acclaimed A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four and The Valley of Fear - will keep you guessing.
