I am officially in a comic book (aka graphic novel)! In print!!!
A few years ago I backed a Kickstarter campaign to be in a new Sherlock Holmes and John Watson comic book “Watson and Holmes” created by Brandon Perlow and Paul Mendoza. They re-envision Watson and Holmes as African-Americans living in today’s New York City’s Harlem district. They were unable to get me into Volume 1, so I was added into Volume 2 and the wait was totally worth it. Volume 2, Chapter 4 was written by Lyndsay Faye (plot), Karl Bollers (script), N. Steven Harris (artist), and Jay David Ramos (colors) and I am in a scene with Irene Adler (aka ‘The Woman’) or Irene Adlero as she is called in the comic. To be in the comic book, I had to send in some photos and in some of them I am wearing my favorite airplane necklace. So you can now see me seated in The New Ritz in Harlem at 10:37pm wearing my airplane necklace listening to Irene Adler sing. Awesome!
Watson and Holmes Volumes 1 and 2 are beautifully created comic books/graphic novels and I would say that even if I was not in the them or had backed them as a Kickstarter. As a Sherlock Holmes fan (yes, the Game), I believe that the comic books show that even after 100+ years, Holmes and Watson are still relevant.
