It seems like a nobleman from a foreign country had been murdered in a Whitechapel slum, leaving only the word “Rache” painted in his own blood. Written through the eyes of his assistant, we follow the pair from their first meeting as house mates to him becoming the detective’s assistant when a case falls into their laps. Originally published as a short story in 2004, the new illustrated adaption once again focuses on a detective who has been entrusted with a particularly bizarre case. With art handled by the very talented Rafael Albuquerque, the newest addition to the Gaiman/Dark Horse library breathes a new life into the already award-winning work.

A Sherlock inspired horror mystery, A Study in Emerald follows a certain detective and his assistant as he attempts to solve a murder of Lovecraftian proportions while facing his most devious opponent yet. Following on the success of their comic adaption of American Gods, along with several hardcover adaptions of Bards short stories, comes A Study in Emerald. We all knows who he is, so it’s no surprise that Dark Horse comics is having an ongoing love affair with all things Gaiman. If he did, it would be one of those three word ones like Live-Laugh-Love or Shoot-To-Kill.
