Only One Day Left To To Support Sherlock Holmes And The Empire Builders And Grab A Signed Walt Simonson Limited Print Edition
And Here’s Two New Quotes
The campaign to fund Sherlock Holmes And The Empire Builders The Gene Genie Vol.1 ends this Thursday 27 July and there are just 14 signed Walt Simonson plate editions left too. Here’s two new quotes from Jeph Loeb and Frank Quitely…
“The game is indeed afoot! It’s no small feat to take on the works of Sir Doyle, and yet Joel and Andy had done a neat job of it. Holmes feels quite like the Sherlock we know and love – except he’s found himself out of his element. Meanwhile, like every great heroic story, there’s a villain who… well, you’ll just have to read it for yourself. Gorgeous artwork by Andy that captures the mood and the spirit of Joel’s page turner. Enjoy it all! “ – Jeph Loeb, writer, Batman The Long Halloween, producer, Daredevil TV show, Jessica Jones TV show
“Joel Meadows and Andy Bennett have delivered a rare treat for fans of Sherlock Holmes – tantalising new stories that stay true to the tone and aesthetic of the canon.” -Frank Quitely
Sherlock Holmes and the Empire Builders is an alternate world sci fi epic adventure featuring the world’s greatest detective as you’ve never seen him before. When Dr Watson leaves Holmes to join Crick to unravel the human DNA helix, he begins to realise that he is working for the world’s most evil man. So Holmes has to join forces with an unlikely group of rebels to defeat Watson’s employer.
Testing the waters with three shorts which ran in Tripwire magazine, we felt that now was the time to debut this in its own graphic novel series. This will be a hardcover with a dust jacket running at 84 pages with 64 pages of story plus character sketches, script pages and an interview offering extra information on the series.
Cover #1: Walter Simonson
