SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS: Based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, The Baker Street Four provides an inside look behind the infamous Baker Street Irregulars.
Billy, Charlie, and Tom are inseparable, and for good reason. Filled with con men and scoundrels, London’s East End is not easily survived alone. Fortunately, the three friends—and their faithful feline companion—can count on the protection of Sherlock Holmes, for whom they sometimes act as spies.
When Tom’s girlfriend is kidnapped, the Baker Street Irregulars must put their budding sleuthing skills to use. Then, when a Russian immigrant is framed for a Jack the Ripper–inspired crime, our heroes set out to discover the truth and uncover a conspiracy that may go deeper than they ever imagined. Armed with only their quick wit and street smarts, the Baker Street Irregulars must work together to solve mysteries in the nick of time. Make way for the youngest detective team of the Victorian era!
Hailed by critics and audiences, The Baker Street Four has received numerous awards and was featured at Angoulême in 2012. Insight Editions is proud to continue to bring this exciting story to English audiences worldwide.
| MY RATING: ★★★★★ I admit that I still haven't read any Sherlock Holmes' story/book that is why I'm not familiar with the Baker Street Irregulars. I'm still looking for the leather hardbound version of the Sherlock Holmes' book, which is always out of stock in our local bookstores here in our country. I guess this comic is a good way to get acquainted with some of the characters in Doyle's famous detective. This graphic novel's detailed illustrations and the stories, The Blue Curtain and The Rabukin Case, made this worthy to read. If you love reading Sherlock Holmes' detective stories, you might also enjoy reading this. Just don't expect a lot because Holmes has a small exposure only to both stories in this comics.    |
