Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, he success as a character was immediate and profound. Arguably one of, if not the best, fictional character in literature. If you don’t mind cracking into some prose, you can’t go wrong with those early Sherlock Holmes adventures. And if you have yet to watch the Robert Downey Jr. movies, hunt them down. Lots of fun. There’s plenty of Sherlock Holmes in comics out there as well, most recently from Dark Horse and IDW. It’s elementary, dear Watson.
Happy Sherlock Holmes Day!
Hi Folks!
Quick email to firstly, squeeze in a short, little ‘Happy Sherlock Holmes Day!’ shout-out. Here’s our favourite DC Detective Chimp doing his best Sherlock Cosplay.

Also, I’m pulling in some key Pop Culture dates for the next few months that you may want to consider. I aim to post them on a website in some far-off corner of the internet in the near future, but in the meantime, I’ll look to keep a tidy record in these semi-regular updates.
