Rated by buyers -
I bought this mainly for the Sherlock Holmes story. It's a comic book version of "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle". But you'll find some glaring changes from the original story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They changed the title to "The Mystery of the Blue Diamond". I guess they figured kids reading this wouldn't know what a carbuncle is. Or that kids wouldn't want to stop and look up the word in a dictionary. And they changed the name of Dr. John Watson to Dr. CHARLES Watson. What's up with that? Is it too much to ask to keep the characters' original names? And in the original story Holmes doesn't use one of his many disguises while solving this mystery. But in this comic book they have him disguised as a woman.
The artwork is okay, and it is colorful. I'd rate it three stars out of five.
