BUY 'THE VALLEY OF FEAR'
"Culbard's pulpy, golden-age illustration style complements Edginton's sharp eye for pacing to great effect"-Cory Doctorow
BUY 'AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS'
"Gorgeous, thrilling... enthralling" -FPi "his best work to date" -GS "Culbard has had conversations with dead men."-BH
BUY 'THE SIGN OF THE FOUR'
"Both Holmes and Wilde have been sexed and revved up recently in a superficial, flashy Hollywood remake for mall kidults, whereas this graphic novel stays mostly respectful to the original... I was soon won over." -Paul Gravett.
BUY 'A STUDY IN SCARLET'
"As the great detective himself might have said, 'The game is afoot!' as the first ever Sherlock Holmes adventure is brought to life brilliantly in this stunning graphic novel." -Mark Billingham.
BUY 'THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES'
"Holmes enthusiasts will be pleased and relieved by Edginton & Culbard’s back-to-basics approach, retaining the authentic tone and character of Conan Doyle’s original stories; hence no bumbling Doctor Watson nor deer stalker as added in later cinema and theatre versions." – GOSH!
BUY THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY
"Films and graphic novels have a lot in common – indeed I could have used much of this as my storyboards. It's terrific to see Wilde's work in this form and it's a great way to reach a wider audience. The visuals are bold and striking and the text very skillfully abridged." - Oliver Parker, director of 'The Importance of Being Earnest', 'An Ideal Husband' and the forthcoming 'Dorian Gray'.

Oh my gosh! Duckman. I watched that show so much as a kid. That and that show with the guy with the lawnmower blad in his head (don't remember the name of it).
Ah Duckman, great stuff. And criminally unavailable on (legitimate) DVD. I wrote an email to Everett Peck once saying that this was a terrible shame and he wrote back saying yes it was, please complain to Paramount (I think it was Paramount - whoever owned the rights anyway). So I did. But it didn't do any good. Bah!
I never watched this but it seems fun !
dragonhead, remember the episode with the etch-a-sketch where god writes the answer to everything on it, but the first thing Duckman does with it is shake it? Superb.
Dave, you're right, it is criminal that this hasn't been released on DVD. There is an online petition to get these released on DVD.
Glazy, it's fried gold.
