"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'.
"Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
I used to sit absolutely glued to the Bill Bixby tv show when I was a kid. I always thought that the sad music they play at the end would be great at my own funeral one day (no rush), till a friend of mine pointed out that my wife might be a little upset because the narration goes like this; "David Banner is believed to be dead, and he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him...." followed by the trademark roar of the hulk and a change in the score to the old 'duh-duh-duhhhhh-duh!" dramatic signature sign off. Now I think it'd make even greater funeral music.
Many thanks for all your kind comments. Much appreciated.
Just an awesome Hulk! Your coarse color separation dot-pattern gives him an air of antiqutity, but your style is cutting edge current. Very cool indeed!
very inspiring. i may very well have to redo mine take on the theme. love the style and effects on this one. the face reminds me of cartoon network, but the gut reminds me jack kirby. awesome job.
