In "A Study in Scarlet", when a man is found lying dead in a room, with only the word "Rache" scrawled on the wall as a clue, it is up to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to solve the case! In "The Speckled Band", Sherlock Holmes must solve the mysterious death of a young woman's sister, before it is too late! Classics Illustrated tells this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also includes a biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a list of all of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries and study questions, which can be used both in the classroom and at home to further engage the reader in the work at hand.
