Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

While I idolize Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, I'm looking forward to seeing this flick...

 ...this weekend, after which, I'll be dining on fish and chips, stilton cheese fritters, and Guinness Extra Stout at a British-style pub!

For those who are into these (like me), HERE'S the Official Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Downloads Page with desktop/laptop, iPhone/iPod, iPad wallpapers PLUS icons!

Enjoy!

"The Gifts are Afoot, Watson..."

OK, it's a silly paraphrase of a classic line, but we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ take our Sherlockania VERY seriously...
As part of our Crime & Punishment™ collection, we've given The Greatest Sleuth of All™ his very own section!
12 different designs, including several with Basil Rathbone, the man who is to Sherlock Holmes as Sean Connery is to James Bond; not the first, but to many (including myself), the definitive portrayer!
Add to that, several classic comic book covers, a variety of other movie posters (including the campy A Study in Terror with Holmes as "The ORIGINAL Caped Crusader"!), the coolest cigar box art I've ever seen (based on William Gillette, the definitive stage Holmes), and 1st Edition covers including A Study in Scarlet and His Last Bow!
PLUS:

YouTube Wednesday: Sherlock Holmes!

Here's the trailer for the upcoming flix with Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty.

Note the Mauser in Downey's hand. In 1896, this was THE state-of-the-art pistol.

Now a look at another Holmes and Moriarty...Basil Rathbone and Lionel Atwill!

NEW: Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes Store!

We've had several requests for more SherlockStuff using the sepiatone photo of Basil Rathbone as The Greatest Sleuth of All™ on the cover of our popular Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes 2010 12-Month Calendar, so we set up a standalone storefront HERE to accommodate your wishes!
Of course, there's still the MAIN Sherlock Holmes section in the Crime & Punishment™ annex of Atomic Kommie Comics™ with a dozen different, delectable, detectable designs if you can't get enough of Holmes (and Watson, of course)!
"The Gifts are Afoot, Watson!" ;-)

Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes--the 12-Month Calendar!

As Sean Connery is to James Bond 007, so Rathbone is to Sherlock Holmes!

Yeah, Daniel Craig is the 007 du jour (and he is good, make no bones about it).
But, when you see the name in print or hear the theme, who do you picture?
Be honest, it's Connery...Sean Connery!

I'm looking forward to the Robert Downey jr flick, but the image that still comes to mind when "Sherlock" is uttered is the man who was the face (and distinctive voice) of the erudite, eloquent Holmes for generations...Basil Rathbone!

So celebrate Sherlock in general, and Rathbone in particular, with this new 2010 12-month calendar featuring a Baker Street dozen movie posters and lobby cards featuring Rathbone as Holmes along with Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson and Dennis Hoey (yeah, I thought it was "Hooey", too) as Inspector Lestrade!

"The calendar's afoot, Watson!"

The Coming of...CALENDARS!

Among our most popular items are 12-month calendars.
(Y'know, the ones with different illustrations for each month.)
Last year we almost doubled the selection of subjects, and you pop culture aficionados responded by gobbling them up like there was no tomorrow (pun intended)!

Plus, there were several subjects that you requested we do calendars about!
No fools we, if the demand is there, supply it we will!
