'THE SHADOW OUT OF TIME'
OUT NOW (in the UK/US out Fall)
BUY 'DEADBEATS'
OUT NOW!
BUY 'THE CASE OF CHARLES DEXTER WARD'
OUT NOW
BUY 'A PRINCESS OF MARS'
OUT NOW
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'.

Good stuff. Is that first image how that frame started life? My thumbnails look like grey spaghetti with fourteen different variations one on top of the other. I'm stunned by the idea that you produce the perfected composition straight off.
Really looking forward to seeing this book, Ian.
I second Rob, does it really spring fully formed?! Like the look of Holmes, has a Dan Dare-ish feel, which seems proper.
I see what you mean. No, don't worry, I do have plenty of spaghetti drawings too.
Glad you like.
That's a relief.
they seem well distributed these Eye Classics, any idea what the sales are like?
Very nice !!
Looking good. Love seeing more of the process stuff, also comforting to read that spaghetti drawings are quite common.
I saw in an earlier post that you're shaking off the "bumbling buffoonery" of Nigel Bruce, I confess that I do have a soft spot for that bumbling Watson but I'll look forward to seeing yours and Ian's take on him.
I really like the Billy Wilder film and was wondering if you've watched it and what you thought of it?
When can we expect to see the book on the shelves?
With regard to sales, I've no idea - I've had my head down working on Holmes. Local stores and Gosh in London seem to be shifting plenty of copies, but I've no idea yet what that means in the grand scheme of things.
With regard to 'bumbling buffoonery' (there's certainly been some on my part trying to address this point) I shall make a post out of my reply as there are considerable details to be covered there that I feel would also merit some illustration.
But in short, Yes! Excellent!! May 2009.
I am a fan of Holmes. Despite overdosing on the endless repeats on BBC7, I will definitely be tracking down a copy of this.
Hi Reuben, glad to hear it. Many thanks:)
