For those of you who are interested in Sherlock Holmes in the realm of comic books, this should grab your attention. As you are no doubt aware, we recently reported that the Muppets would have a role in a new Sherlock Holmes-themed comic book (<a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2010/05/were-equally-puppets-in-his-hands-soli_4.html" rel="nofollow">"The Muppets Do Sherlock Holmes"</a>). If your tastes in the graphic arts are a little more refined, fear not! We noticed some early quivers across the web that may indicate some additional publications that you may wish to note.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Some History</b></h4>
There are a great many instances of Holmes in the comics over the years. While we haven't yet provided a comprehensive review or compilation of all of the titles at this point, we point you to <a href="http://bullyscomics.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html">Bully Comics, who has a nice retrospective from the month of January, 2008</a>.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>The Present</b></h4>
The British comics blog downthetubes.net re-posted <a href="http://downthetubescomics.blogspot.com/2010/05/tony-lee-taks-zombies-and-jane-austen.html">a Del Rey interview with Tony Lee</a>, the British comics creator, who appeared at the Bristol Comics Expo last weekend. For those of you who may not know Tony, he has recently completed <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zombies-Graphic-Novel/dp/0345520688?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank"><b><i>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel</i></b></a><b><i><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0345520688" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i></b>. [Side note: we mentioned the original book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zombies-Classic-Ultraviolent/dp/1594743347?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Pride and Prejudice and Zombies</a> in <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2010/01/episode-22-sherlock-holmes-at-movies.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 22</a> of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere].<br />
<br />
The reason it caught our eye is that last month, Bleeding Cool first reported Tony and his writing partner Dan Boultwood <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/04/15/are-tony-lee-and-dan-boultwood-working-up-a-sherlock-holmes-graphic-novel/">had their photo taken</a> at the Sherlock Holmes set of the London Film Museum earlier this year. An interesting tease, for certain.<br />
<br />
But thanks to the Del Ray interview, we have it straight from Tony that he's "<i>working on and pitching a graphic novel series of books <b>on the Baker Street Irregulars</b>, another childhood love</i>."<br />
<br />
So we began to piece some of the other bits of the puzzle together to see if we could find more information.  It turns out we didn't have to look very far, as Bleeding Cool followed up with a post this weekend that clinched it: <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/05/29/tony-lee-and-dan-boultwoods-irregular-graphic-novels/">Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood's Irregular Graphic Novels</a>. The only information we have is that Sherlock Holmes is dead and it looks like the Irregulars are poised to replace him; but of the assortment of ragtag street urchins, who will it be? No specifics on the plot, a publisher or anything other than a series of images from flyers that were handed out at the London MCM Expo:<br />

Can Sherlock Holmes Land You a Job?

<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"self-willed for the job" [LAST]</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4182490774_aefb17fe72_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4182490774_aefb17fe72_m.jpg" width="255" /></a></div>

One never knows where an interest in Sherlock Holmes will lead or when it will come in handy. In the case of Rhiannon Paine, it meant a job offer.<br />
<br />
On her blog <a href="http://rhiannonpaine.com/crooks/">Crooks by the Book</a>, Ms. Paine recounts the story in "<a href="http://rhiannonpaine.com/crooks/sherlock-holmes-got-me-a-job"><b>Sherlock Holmes got me a job</b></a>," in which she describes responding to a job posting for an assistant editor at <i>The San Francisco Chronicle</i>. You can read all about her own chronicle of the adventure by clicking the link above.<br />
<br />
We won't give away how it all came about. But the hiring manager in the story? None other than a Baker Street Irregular—Robert Frier, BSI ("Colonel Upwood").<br />
<br />
The moral of the story: Sherlock Holmes pops up in the strangest of places. Having a hobby such as ours may not only be enjoyable, but it may lead to other exciting opportunities. It's best to prepare in advance.<br />

It isn't often that one gets an opportunity to chat with an accomplished actor, either from the big screen, small screen, or the stage. Burt and Scott were joined by one that has crossed all three, but whom is certainly known for his musical turn as Sherlock Holmes in the 1965 musical "<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2KW2r5D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Baker Street: A Musical Adventure of Sherlock Holmes</a>:</b>: none other than Tony Award-winning actor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Weaver" rel="" target="_blank">Fritz Weaver</a>. </div>

Fritz Weaver is a veteran of the stage and an accomplished voice over artist, so you'll no doubt enjoy his booming baritone throughout this interview. Over the course of this 30-minute chat with Fritz, we cover a range of material, including some commentary on <a href="https://amzn.to/326LZVT" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">William Shatner's singing style</a>; some behind-the-scenes information - and funny at that - about Martin Gabel, who played Moriarty in the musical; references to My Fair Lady; lovely reminiscences of Inga Swenson; and even a Twilight Zone reference. </div>

But we mostly focus on "Baker Street," the memories of the production, and even include some of the musical tracks from "Baker Street," bringing Mr. Weaver "down memory lane," as he fondly states.</div>
