Warlock Holmes

Questa serie reinterpreta un mondo in cui un detective magicamente potente ma comicamente inetto affronta misteri soprannaturali nella Londra vittoriana. Si affida pesantemente al suo brillante e capace compagno per navigare sia le minacce arcane che le proprietà sociali. Le storie fondono il classico genere poliziesco con il dark fantasy e l'umorismo, offrendo una prospettiva fresca e spesso esilarante su tropi familiari. È un'affascinante esplorazione della deduzione contro il potere demoniaco grezzo, il tutto racchiuso in un pacchetto affascinante e anacronistico.
