Keeping with Gary Gianni’s art for now while we await news on the physical production of the books. Here we wanted to have a literal page turner within Death and Honey, I always wanted a double page where you could see The Adventure of the Creeping Man shown, as the incident that Holmes uses to find the solution to Mycroft’s challenge in Neil’s story, the first image we played around with, (actually we tried it in different spots through The Case of Death and Honey) was to be a bit meta, and use the Strand magazine, as if Holmes was reading Watson’s stories. But we ended up using a key moment. At first Gary had the professor stretching out across the panel, but I always wanted to make a book with the original art as part of a book, which meant that each page wouldn’t work if separated, so Gary adjusted the double page spread to make it work as a spread but also each page works unto itself.
