This way, the people who don't like to read will be able to enjoy the Holmes stories. I think that it’s really cool that they are making the Sherlock Holmes into graphic novels.

Hopefully they will turn people onto the stories themselves but it doesn't matter. Remember, Conan Doyle, like Dickens and many other "classic" authors was orignally published in weekly instalments in magazinse - Holmes appeared in the strand magazine - and so the books we know today are in themselves an adaptation. If you don't know how Holmes met his appearent end at the hands of arch enemy Moriaty, read The Final Problem, suspense from start to finish!
