Sherlock: A Study in Pink

Product Information

This gruesome detail is true to the Doyle stories, but when we see Sherlock perform the act in strip form, it reminded me disturbingly of the Joker’s violent killing of Jason Todd (the unluckiest Robin) in the Batman strip A Death in the Family.

View image in fullscreen The relationship of Holmes and Watson, played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, will be explored in the comics. His cold logic is reminiscent of the Cybermen in Doctor Who (another show that Mark Gatiss has written for and knows well, of course), in particular Cyberleader Krail.His face is more obviously stylised, often caricatured and not flatteringly – some frames have him creasing his features into an inelegant crooked smirk. It’s a nicely presented box set, mixing collectors’ item with that authentic low-budget comic book feel.

Let’s hope that we won’t have to wait too long for the English version of the continuation, A Scandal in Belgravia, which is teasingly advertised at the back of the book as: “to be announced soon! I didn’t pay much attention to Time Lord Victorious, the previous cross-platform multimedia event back in 2020, because I find chasing [. The fact that Japanese manga always has jackets is something that I definitely envy on those releases (often times, there ARE images underneath, including one page addtl comics.Despite my daughter still wanting it for the artwork and the hopeful optimism that she will learn Japanese (a goal she still maintains), I balked. Here we see a good example of the series confronting the conveniences of the modern world – which can be inconveniences when a storyteller is trying to build dramatic tension by placing obstacles in the path of the hero.

Fans of the TV series Sherlock and its superstars Cumberbatch and Freeman can get a second helping with this faithful adaptation. However, that was a rather dialogue-heavy section of the television episode, so this part of the graphic novel is somewhat dominated by shots of talking heads. He also tries to be kind to Molly, in his own way, but it’s a rather cruel way that infuriates John. In his mind, it's a curse – he's a samurai who can't use a steel blade, a man who can't even get a close sha.Sherlock needn’t have worried, though, because John simply took a photo with his phone – which leaves Holmes speechless for a change! Adapting the episodes of the smash-hit TV series starring worldwide superstars Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit). The comic has offered in a limited edition “English/Japanese” bilingual version, with the help of Gatiss and Moffat, by the English Agency in Japan, but it isn’t an easy find for UK and US readers. But on the other hand, perhaps the fact that he has become more than a character, that he’s an icon, might help ease his mind.

Japan devours detective and mystery fiction as eagerly as it does images of slender, long-limbed men with penetrating gazes and intimate male relationships. John is furious when he realises this, because the bomber’s latest hostage has been held captive and terrified in the meantime. In fact, there’s no such thing as “baritsu” in Japan – the word was a misspelling of “bartitsu”, a short-lived British attempt to combine judo and jujitsu. As in A Study in Scarlet, Sherlock deliberately keeps his mind free from ‘clutter’, such as the knowledge that the earth orbits the sun, much to his flatmate’s amazement.Of course, anyone who has seen Sherlock will already know the identity of ‘M’, but to the uninitiated he is cunningly introduced, seeming more like a master criminal than anything else. Sherlock: A Study in Pink injects new, wholly unexpected life into one of pop culture's most widely known properties.
