221B the graphic novel
Graphic novel page

Sherlock Holmes is in his early twenties, just down from university: he's alone and uncertain. John Watson, just a few years older, is newly invalided out of the army: he's sick and depressed. And then they meet...

Based on my TV pilot script, 221B presents an alternative look at the early lives of the doctor and the detective in Victorian England.

A mystery which stretches from the American Old West to London brings the young Holmes into conflict with the police, into a partnership with a remarkable and unlikely mentor and finally into the famous address and the company of the man who will be his only friend.
