Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders is an epic alternate world sci-fi adventure featuring The World’s Greatest Detective as people have never seen him before.

When Watson leaves Holmes to help Crick unravel the DNA helix and finds himself in the employ of England’s most evil man, Holmes is forced to team up with an unlikely group to defeat this monstrous figure and return England to its status quo. But can he defeat the machinations of the man at the rudder of the country?

Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders: The Gene Genie is perfect for fans of Michael Moorcock (Elric, Jerry Cornelius) and Bryan Talbot (The Adventures Of Luther Arkwright, Grandville).

Winning a Comic Scene award for Best Crowdfunder in 2025, it has already garnered quite a following since its debut in 2020 as a short comic story in the pages of Tripwire. This complete collection features a brand new introduction by award-winning writer JM DeMatteis (Moonshadow, Spider-man: Kraven’s Last Hunt), and a brand new wraparound cover by Eisner award-winning artist Laurence Campbell (Hellboy).
