About Me


GASLIGHT

GASLIGHT is a graphic novel of mystery, suspense, and the supernatural set in the Victorian London of Sherlock Holmes and featuring Irene Adler, the beautiful opera singer from the Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia."

The Story

In 1891 Sherlock Holmes faced Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls, and the two arch-enemies died together there. Holmes was dead to the world until his miraculous return three years later. Holmes scholars have speculated for over a century about the "Great Hiatus" and the untold story of those three lost years. GASLIGHT tells that story.
