Warlock Holmes

Deze serie herinterpreteert een wereld waarin een magisch krachtige maar komisch onbeholpen detective bovennatuurlijke mysteries oplost in het Victoriaanse Londen. Hij leunt zwaar op zijn briljante en capabele metgezel om zowel occulte dreigingen als sociale conventies te navigeren. De verhalen combineren het klassieke detectivegenre met dark fantasy en humor, en bieden een frisse en vaak hilarische kijk op bekende tropen. Het is een heerlijke verkenning van deductie versus pure, demonische kracht, allemaal verpakt in een charmant anachronistisch geheel.

The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart companion. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety… and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.
