Can't wait to read it in this format after read the book.🙌🏻

A famous story, of course, but not a very good one. One thing I always disliked in the Holmes stories is that the action, as far as there is some, is so often told within the story as something that has happened. So Holmes leaves Watson, and the next day he tells him what has happened.Okay, since Watson is the one who is telling us, but annoying anyway. And here we have all the exciting action in the second part told by the murderer. As a piece of literature rather lame. And the transformation i...

Too much was lost due to the format.

This adaptation has much to offer a reader, but the way Holmes is drawn really distracts me. He's too happy, too super-hero-y, too clean-cut. I found myself looking through image after image of Holmeses over the years. In all of them he tends to be edgier and moodier. I really liked this one though I don't quite understand where it comes from and where it's going. http://akru.deviantart.com/art/Sherlo...Those who adapt stories that are so iconic have a big challenge on their hands: how to stay w...

The story was of course brilliant and I did enjoy the graphic style.Though Holmes took some getting use to, so use to his face being that of Benedict Cumerbach.

This is the second book in this graphic novel series based on the first Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is well adapted and quite a direct adaptation from the novel. I like the illustration style, John is drawn well and there are some really sweet moments. However the illustration style makes some characters, especially Sherlock, seem more sinister than they actually are.

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson meet for the first time in A Study in Scarlet, becoming roomies at 221b Baker Street and solving their first case together: murder most foul! Ian Edginton and INJ Culbard’s comics adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic is about as good as the original which is to say that it’s just ok; Scarlet definitely isn’t the best Sherlock Holmes book. That’s largely down to the plodding explanation of the murderer’s motivations that take up most of the second half. It’s

Review from Badelynge.This isn't the first time A study in Scarlet has been adapted into a graphic novel but it is still a welcome addition. Ian Edginton is very faithful to Doyle's story. The book is quite pleasing all round. Ian Culbard delivers a style of art that doesn't ape the Strand illustrations, rather he chooses to caricature the characters using Doyle's descriptions. Everyone is instantly recognizable throughout. A narrow palette of colours is used, mainly all shades of brown and blue...

Great adaptation of the classic Holmes story. I love the genesis of Holmes and Watson's relationship as seen through Watson's narrative. I think this story shows Holmes' classic deduction and reasoning skills better than some of the other books. Love the graphic re-interpretations. I'd love to see more of these...

I have not read Holmes. I have certainly encountered him in movies, television shows, essays, and other pop-cultural artifacts, but I have not read his cases and have no firsthand experience with his interlocutor, Arthur Conan Doyle. So when I speak of A Study in Scarlet as adapted by I.N.J. Culbard and Ian Edginton, you’ll kindly bear my context in mind. I cannot speak to their faithfulness to their source material but to the quality of their final product alone.For the most part at any rate. I...

A fine reduction of the novel. My main criticism is that Holmes looks too "dashing" in the art, like a skinny Superman with a comb-over.

I realise that Doyle described Holmes as having a prominent square chin but I'm quite certain that he didn't intend it to look like the business end of a garden spade.

I definitely enjoyed this graphic novel a lot and may read even more Sherlock Holmes graphic novels.

I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan - by that I do mean the original novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They really are wonderful detective stories and Holmes and Watson are great literary characters. These graphic novels from the independent publishing house Self Made Hero are a great tribute to the great novels. They create the scene brilliantly and the illustrations are excellent. They simply bring Holmes and Watson to life in a whole other way and are brilliant for established fans or people who

Good adaptation of the original novel, except that I really didn't enjoy the art style.

3.5A decent story with decent graphics. Nothing amazing but still enjoyable.

The stories of Sherlock Holmes were one of my first introductions to the mystery genre and so it was with a mixture of excitement and hesitancy that I read this volume. There was excitement in re-reading this fantastic story and seeing how it would translate to images. However, there was hesitancy in reading a well-crafted story in another form and wondering if the new form ruins the precision of the story and the memory of what the story was and meant.Fortunately, this full colour graphic novel...

This works much better as a novel rather than a graphic novel. The clever pacing and the feeling that you're always trying to catch up is disrupted by the graphic novel format (which is still a fun way to read this book, but not ideal).

book 15 out of 75 graphic novelI'd like to start by stating that this is my first venture into anything Sherlock Holmes related, whether it be books, movies, TV shows or anything. And I have to say, it was a pretty great first experience. I think that starting out with a graphic-novel version of "A Study in Scarlet" was a hella good decision. Now I am more familiar with the characters, I have an image of them in my head, and I think that that will be useful when I read more Sherlock Holmes. N

Classic Holmes story told in comics fashion. I had read it and seen it many times, and so it was familiar to me, and this felt to me like a way in for younger people, as it sort of simplified things, but it was done by a talented artist.
