Sherlock Book Reviews - Scandal In Bohemia Graphic Novel
Posted by Steve Emecz on
"Adapted as a graphic novel by the brilliant Czech illustrator Petr Kopl and translated (back) into English by Paul & Jana Simpson. Actually there are two adventures here, the other being ‘The Speckled Band’, and both serve to show Holmes that women can be just as courageous and intelligent as men – much to Watson’s satisfaction.
The result is a feast for the eye and the imagination. The vivid, exciting text is enhanced by artwork that’s by turns deeply atmospheric and devastatingly funny – and often beautiful. This is a thoroughly classy production. The original won the Fabula Rasa Czech Award for the best script, best artwork and best comic book. It’s easy to see why."
