If you’ve ever wanted a massive format Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders Graphic Novel Now’s Your Chance
Sherlock Holmes And The Empire Builders The Gene Genie The Collection comes out on 21 April co-published with Mad Cave Studios. But what people aren’t aware that, as well as reprinting volumes 1 and 2 together for the first time, it’s also in a massive 11 x 15 inch paperback format.
“So for fans of the series and Andy Bennett’s unique art, this is a way to read the whole first story in one volume at what is effectively an oversized artist’s edition,”Sherlock Holmes And The Empire Builders writer and co-creator Joel Meadows said.
The book also includes reproductions of Walt Simonson’s cover, Dan Panosian’s cover and the pin-ups from George Pratt (Enemy Ace: War Idyll, Batman: Harvest Breed), Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves, Detective Comics) and Liam Sharp and Bill Sienkiewicz (Batman, StarHenge).
It also includes the two original prose short stories, a brand new introduction from legendary writer JM DeMatteis (Moonshadow, Kraven’s Last Hunt) and a brand new wraparound cover from Eisner winning artist Laurence Campbell (Hellboy, The One Hand And The Six Fingers).
“A darn good romp!” – Oscar-winning director Guillermo Del Toro, Pinocchio, The Shape Of Water, Frankenstein, Hellboy
“Classic Sherlock Holmes! You can smell the chimney-smoke and feel the clatter of hooves. Here’s the character we all know and love, given a fresh polish for the 21st century!” – Ian Rankin, best-selling author, Rebus
“When you think there is nothing more to be said or done with Sherlock Holmes, along come Meadows and Bennett to breathe fresh life into the great detective. Bravo! I’m thoroughly enjoying this original tale!”– Michael Moorcock, fantasy writing legend, Elric, Jerry Cornelius
“The game is indeed afoot! It’s no small feat to take on the works of Conan Doyle, and yet Joel and Andy have 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, Batman: The Last Halloween, Batman: Hush
“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, Batman, All-Star Superman
Retailing at just $19.99, this oversized paperback gives fans the chance to read and enjoy Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders The Gene Genie The Collection in a format never available before.
