Title: Aetheric Mechanics (Avatar Press, 2008, 46 pages)
Creators: Warren Ellis (writer), Gianluca Pagliarani (pencils)
Availability: In print.
A Sherlock Holmes pastiche as written by Warren Ellis. When I first posted this back at the old comm, I described it as "what awesome will be once it grows hair on its chest and finds the confidence to talk to girls". I stand by this opinion.
1907. London, England. Our POV character, Dr. Richard Watcham, returns home from the Ruritanian War...
...and meets up with a familiar face, currently working to puzzle out the mystery of "The Man Who Wasn't There" (but who is doing a good job of knifing scientists nonetheless).
In case you're not interested yet, here are some out-of-context scans of other fine pages.
It's not what you think.
Anyway -- good book. Lots of fun. Deserves your money.
