Sherlock Holmes sneak peek in Heroes

I won't be hearing back from the Xeric Foundation until after June 15th whether I got the comic book self publishing grant or not. But I have put together an eight page sneak preview of Sherlock Holmes: The Painful Predicament of Alice Faulkner which I am planning on have appear in the upcoming issue of the Undercoverfish Groups anthology Detour. This issue is titled Heroes.

I had originally considered doing a short story called Oscar Wilde: International Man of Absurity. I had written a short sketch several years back which would feature Oscar Wilde as this James Bond type of super spy. I thought it might be amusing for this particular issue.

Unfortunately, I contacted plague and was bedridden before I was able to get started on it and by the time I was finally feeling better, I was beginning to rapidly run out of time to be able to write and illustrate a new story for the anthology.

I haven't missed an issue yet, so I decided I would submit a teaser for my graphic novel. What better superhero for issue like this than Sherlock Holmes?

But I will let you know when the latest issue of Detours hits the streets. Featuring the work and writing of some of the most talented people I know!!
