Victorian Undead #1 (Of 6)

There has been a recent fan upsurge among new generations and an interest revival among senior ones in the world's most famous and best-loved fictional detective, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal Sherlock Holmes, fueled no doubt by countless comic books retelling his exploits or featuring new ones. Now, DC Comics through its Wildstorm imprint has come up with a six-issue limited series pitting Sherlock Holmes against--what deviltry is this?--zombies! In Victorian London! Never too late for Halloween, I say.

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Those are the words of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, the world's first consulting detective, yet even he finds his skills tested to their limit as he and his erstwhile comrade Dr. John Watson are confronted with the most extraordinary case of their career - the dead are returning to life! Can a plague of Biblical proportions be far behind for Victorian London? And who - or what - is behind the resurrection of these ravenous revenants? From renowned writer Ian Edginton (STORMWATCH: PHD) and acclaimed international artist Davide Fabbri (Star Wars) comes the first chapter in an incredible new 6-issue Sherlock Holmes adventure! Featuring a cover by original Walking Dead artist Tony Moore! Written by Ian Edginton; Art by Davide Fabbri; Cover by Tony Moore --
