Welcome to our latest crowdfunding campaign.
After the huge success of Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders as two acclaimed graphic novels (Volume 1 and Volume 2), we thought it was time to offer something a little different.
This campaign will allow us to put this unique project out there. As well as a regular paperback, people will be able to grab a regular hardcover, a digital version and also a limited-edition handsome hardcover too.
After the reception of the edition of our novella with photographs by myself, we thought we would offer something else new and different. This edition includes new art and a brand new cover from my Empire Builders artist and co-creator Andy Bennett. For fans of the graphic novel series, this is perfect.
Down and Out in London is the first prose novella set in the World of the Empire Builders. Holmes has lost his house in Baker Street and is now living homeless on the streets of London. So how does he restore his reputation as the world's greatest detective? This is the perfect bridge between Conan Doyle's work and the World of the Empire Builders.
"I am excited to get my first prose work to the readers. I have loved Sherlock Holmes since I was a child so here is an original 150-page prose novella which gives fans of the Empire Builders the opportunity to find out more about how Holmes found himself in his predicament at the beginning of the first graphic novel. It will be a fun and enjoyable ride." – Joel Meadows, Editor-in-Chief, Tripwire Magazine
London as never seen before
The book will include 20 brand new images created by artist Andy Bennett, which will perfectly capture the essence of Meadows’ prose.
Don't just take our word for it too as we have already garnered a lot of high-profile fans in the worlds of comics, film, TV and genre:
"A darn good romp!" said Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro ( Hellboy, The Shape Of Water, Frankenstein)
“Classic Sherlock Holmes! You can smell the chimney-smoke and feel the clatter of hooves. Here’s the character we all know and love, given a fresh polish for the 21st century!” said best-selling author Ian Rankin (Rebus)
Fantasy legend Michael Moorcock (Elric, Jerry Cornelius) was equally effusive:“When you think there is nothing more to be said or done with Sherlock Holmes, along come Meadows and Bennett to breathe fresh life into the great detective. Bravo! I’m thoroughly enjoying this original tale!"
Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders Down and Out In London fleshes out the world that Joel Meadows has created with artist Andy Bennett in a prose tale that remains true to Conan Doyle while offering something fresh and new.
