About the series
Sylvain Cordurié and Alessandro Nespolino bring Sherlock Holmes into the shadowy, perilous backstreets of Victorian London in this two-issue series from Soleil. Rather than the familiar Baker Street drawing rooms, the detective navigates the city's dangerous "crime alleys," where the usual rules of deduction are tested by a more brutal, visceral environment. It's a compact, atmospheric spin on the classic character, spotlighting how even the world's greatest mind must adapt when the game is played on the criminals' own rough ground.
