Dark Tales: The Hound of the Baskervilles A Graphic Novel

I really like the artwork and the story is true to the classic but I felt like it was a bit short and the graphic novel itself could possible have been longer to explore the intricacies of the characters and subplots. Holmes and Watson were wonderfully written and their personalities were perfectly portrayed. I didn’t connect with the other characters in the story very well due to maybe their lessened time in their roles so there’s where I take away just the one star.

I liked this installment of the Dark Tales series the best so far, for a few reasons! First off, this classic Sherlock Holmes mystery translates perfectly to the graphic novel format. It's just as exciting to see Sherlock and Watson bounding off into the unknown, determined to get to the bottom of the Baskerville murder, as it is to read about in the original story. Add in the fact that the illustrations in this one were much crisper, and felt to me like they fit the story a lot better, and you have a graphic novel that I had a fun time reading. This is a wonderful way to share the Sherlock Holmes saga with a new set of readers.
