Soo.. while deciding if I should get this or not I got two other fellow Brettians to buy it and now, yes I got myself a copy also. Even though it is in French and I do not speak that language. Neither do they but hey, it’s Jeremy.
It’s based on the book “The Last Sherlock Holmes Story” by Michael Dibdin. Comic gets a bit graphic. Deals with Jack The Ripper so that is a second reason for my interest. A few pages with text can be found online and you can buy it on Amazon or eBay.
Cover based on a scene from The Creeping Man.
Putting a few of those pages behind the cut if you want to peek. No graphic pages..
Inspector Zen. Possibly my new literally crush. Unorthodox, unconventional, but ultimately wants to do the right thing. Excuse me while I lie down.
30 Days of Sherlock Holmes: Day 16
What is your favourite pastiche?
Hmmm -- for best pastiche I’ve read, I might go with Daniel Stashower’s The Ectoplasmic Man, about Holmes meeting Houdini. It’s just a cracking good story, and a good example of a “Holmes-meets-famous-person” pastiche that has both Holmes and the historical figure in question being awesome and badass and the two of them working together as a team and just, IDK, it pretty much satisfies everything you could possibly want out of a story of this type.
My favorite “guilty pleasure” pastiche is Michael Dibdin’s The Last Sherlock Holmes Story, which has loads of issues honestly (in terms of plausibility, characterization, etc) but has just the kind of angst and drama (and crackiness) that I never can resist.

The complex semiotics of everyday conversation in Northern Ireland
Michael Dibdin wrote in the Independent: "In [Northern Ireland,] a land whose slogan is 'Whatever you say, say nothing', Tony Parker has been remarkably successful in getting people to talk. The result is by no means transparent, though. One of the best things in the book ['May The Lord in his Mercy Be Kind to Belfast'] is the opening chapter, an analysis of the complex semiotics involved in even the simplest exchange. Parker soon learnt such elementary rules as not to refer to 'Ulster' when addressing a Catholic, or to ask a Protestant if he lived in 'Derry', but he could not disguise his own origins, and this conditioned the responses of the interviewees."
