Edginton Unleashes Holmes vs. Zombies. Written by Ian Edginton, Wildstorm's "Victorian Undead" features Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in a foggier than usual London, confronting the most extraordinary case of their career - why are the dead returning to life? Ian Edginton ("Stormwatch: Post Human Division") is no stranger to the world of Sherlock Holmes. So when WildStorm senior editor Ben Abernathy offered the British writer a crack at telling a tale showcasing the good detective's consulting talents in a zombiefied London, Edginton didn't hesitate. In fact, he jumped in faster than Moriarty's infamous plunge over Reichenbach Falls. Featuring art by Italian illustrator Davide Fabbri ("Star Wars: Empire"), "Victorian Undead" features Holmes and Dr. Watson in a foggier than usual London confronting the most extraordinary case of their career - the dead are returning to life. Holmes' arch nemesis Professor Moriarty has been dead for years, and yet, could he somehow be involved in this Victorian resurrection? CBR News checked in with Edginton to see what we could unearth, and we found a writer who is about to unleash a Holmes that is equal parts Jeremy Brett, Gene Wilder and Gil Grissom. First off, how did this project come about? Was it your pitch, or did WildStorm bring it to you? It was sort of six-of-one and half-a-dozen of the other. I'd just finished my last issue of "Stormwatch: PHD" and was part way through putting together some new pitches, when Ben Abernathy got in touch. Having done "Scarlet Traces" for Dark Horse and "Stickleback" and "Leviathan" for 2000AD here in the UK, he knew I had a thing for steampunk, detective type stories. He asked me if I wanted to work up something that involved Sherlock Holmes, but was a horror book that involved zombies. Let me tell you, it felt like Christmas had come early. Coincidentally, it also helps that I'm part way through a fairly epic program to adapt the entire Holmes canon into a series of graphic novels, so it wasn't exactly a tough choice. Obviously then, you're well familiar with Sherlock Holmes and very comfortable working in his world. He's a legendary character, even more so in Britain. What was your first exposure to character? I am a big Holmes fan. When I was in my mid 'teens, I came down with glandular fever and was laid up for months. It wasn't an especially bad bout, but it just left me feeling wiped out all the time. It was also very, very boring. I read a lot back then anyway, but with not much else to do, I began to plough through books with a vengeance. I worked my way through a whole raft of titles, including one huge doorstop of a book that contained the entire Holmes canon. I remember reading it in just under a week, then going back and reading it again. The books I read during that time pretty much formed the bedrock of material that's inspired me to do what I do now, and Sherlock Holmes plays a big part in that. What is it about Holmes that makes him such terrific subject matter? His stories have been told for more than 100 years, and The Guinness World Records lists him as the 'most portrayed movie character,' with more than 70 actors playing the part in over 200 films. The thing that makes us buy into Sherlock Holmes. is Doctor Watson. If we weren't seeing their adventures through Watson's eyes, I think Holmes would be a lot harder to like. His intellect, arrogance and addictions are all filtered through Watson's perception of this flawed genius. He marvels at Holmes observations and deductions, but is disturbed, especially as a doctor, by Holmes' descent into dark moods and his need for the needle when he doesn't have the mental stimulation that he thrives on. When writing Holmes opposite Dr. Watson, how do you find their voices? Did you go back and watch old films, or read Doyle's original stories again? Or maybe you watched some new episodes of "House" to watch Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard interact? I've re-read the Holmes books several times recently, as well as watching some of the better movies, but it's the Granada TV series, with Jeremy Brett as Holmes and Edward Hardwicke and David Burke as Watson, which is really the benchmark. It's the little nuances of character that stand out. In the episode 'The Three Gables,' there's a small, almost insignificant moment, when Watson has taken quite beating and is sitting, bruised and battered, on the stairs of their client. As Holmes passes him by, he doesn't gush with concern but simply gently pats him on the shoulder and says, "Physician, heal thyself." It's only a minor moment, but it speaks volumes about their characters and how they interact with each other. Funnily enough, I didn't think of watching "House." I might go back and do that now. I did watch a lot of "CSI," especially the one's that heavily feature Gil Grissom. He and Holmes have a lot in common. What can you tell us about the story you are going to tell? From the solicitations, it's certainly not traditional Holmesian fare. Well, it is traditionally Holmesian in the way he deals with the situation he's confronted with. It's just that the situation is like nothing he's ever encountered before. I've woven into the plot a number of real-world events that happened at the time and do have a direct bearing on the story. Some are to do with the wretched, squalid conditions that existed in London back then, and one in particular is to do with a strange celestial event that became a matter of public record. One thing I have deliberately done, is to make sure that this doesn't come over as "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" light. With perhaps just one or two minor exceptions, the series is set solely in the world of Sherlock Holmes with no guest appearances from other, external literary characters and so on. If they've appeared in the Holmes books and certain of Conan Doyle's other works, then they're fair game. The solicitation teases, so I have to ask. Who - or what - is behind the resurrection of these ravenous revenants? Because, isn't Professor Moriarty dead? Or at least a zombie? You're right, I can't say and the story's set in 1898, some years after Moriarty's death at the Reichenbach Falls, so there's no way he could be involved. is there? Are there any basic rules to follow when you're writing zombie tales? I often wonder if the powers, strengths, abilities and weaknesses of zombies are universal, or do writers do whatever they like when they're writing the "Undead?" I've kind of tried to rationalize the zombies' physiology. If you're pretty much intact when you die, no arms or legs missing, then you can move as fast as a normal person. Rigor mortis sets in after about three hours, and ceases somewhere around 72, so there's some stiff-legged shambling about for a while, but after that, you're as fast as normal. More so in fact, since you don't have to worry about injury or exhaustion.

  • The War of the Worlds Exhibition Hall Issue 14 I’Ve Always Loved War of the Worlds
    Exhibition Hall 14 The War of the Worlds Exhibition Hall Issue 14 I’ve always loved War of the Worlds. I can’t remember when I first read it, I think it would have been in High School, but I do remember the first time I ever heard the radio version done by Orsen Wells. I was 10 years old and they played it on NPR. I listened to the whole thing, rapt attention as if someone was jangling a set of keys in front of my face. It was amazing. I love radio drama, and this was the first one I can ever say I heard for sure. It was a gateway drug of sorts, as I found my gramma’s old collection of radio shows on cassette. It was the start. H.G. Wells was a major figure in the development of science fiction in English. While Verne was far more impor- tant to the world as a while, the transla- tions into English were seriously flawed, which allowed Wells to become the more important of the two for the develop- ment of the genre of Science Fiction. The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, along with The Sleeper Awakens, were the books that influenced an entire gen- eration, and War of the Worlds was even more important because it influenced a huge number of early Science Fiction filmmakers, including George Pal, whose version of War of the Worlds is the second most important behind only Welles’ radio version. Pal’s take on the visual language of The War of the Worlds was impressive, and if you look at the art that’s come after, all of them are influenced by Pal’s vision.
