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

“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 legend

 ‘Drawing from the wonderful classic that is Sherlock Holmes, Joel Meadows and Tripwire have once again delivered an electrifying story in a dynamically driven comic spread’. – Richard Taylor, Wētā Workshop

“A brilliant celebration of an iconic character. Joel Meadows delivers in style, with a refreshing take on Sherlock Holmes and the art by Andy Bennett is just what you need in a comic. I can’t recommend it enough. “
