Publisher's Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes TPB vol.1:
This big tome reprints the award winning team of Martin
Powell and Seppo Makinen's "Scarlet in Gaslight" and "A Case of Blind
Fear".
First, in "Scarlet in Gaslight", the Great
Detective comes face to face with the master vampire Count Dracula. A beautfil
young woman is afflicted with a strange anemia, losing her blood for no apparent
reason. Called in to investigate, Holmes and Watson meet the eccentric Dr. Van
Helsing, a noted scientist with an obsession for the occult. Together the three
men uncover the most insidious plot ever master-minded by Holmes' nemesis, the
infamous Professor Moriarty.
Only Holmes himself has the ability to stop Moriary's
diabolical vampire invasion, but the cost may be his very sanity, his life, and
ultimately, his mortal soul.
In the second mystery, "A Case of Blind Fear",
strange occurrences are plaguing 1895 London. A fruit vender sees an apple
suspended in mid-air like a balloon, a clerk encounters a ghostly apparition,
only its skeleton and internal organs visible, and a large quality of obscure
drugs has been stolen from several London chemists.
Then there began the murders. Murders that no one seemed
to commit. Was it a plague of hallucinations or was London truly haunted by a
monstrous unseen evil?
The Great Detective is called into the case by Scotland
Yard itself to uncover the horror and mystery of the Invisible
Man.
