Introduction
What are graphic els! By definition graphic novels are no novels whose narrative is conveyed through a combination of text and art, usually in comic strip form. Eisner,W ( !"#$ %
&he term graphic novel is now generally used to describe any story boo' in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and develops as one piece of narrative wor'. (ovels are presented as boo's in linear form) picture boo's tell a story with text accompanied by illustrations) films wor' with moving images and dialogue but graphic novels combine all these elements as a medium for story*telling. &hey are li'e prose in that they are written in printed form, but they are also li'e films in that they tell a story through visual images. +mith. ,(-../$ % 0n a graphic novel, readers derive information visually from pictures which are presented in se1uence. 2acial expressions and physical movements are relayed visually so much so that they, 3 graphic novels are literature in cinematic format . s

0n an increasingly visual culture, the use of graphic novels will definitely promote literacy especially amongst the younger generation due to the elements of humour and fun. Encourage reluctant readers to read as the medium of visuals complement reading of graphic novels. &hey are more appealing to the eye. 4isuals have a very strong impact on the reader, who ma'es meaning through pictures and images. 5raphic novels offer value , variety and creativity. 6ictures ma'e texts more accessible especially to second language users and reluctant readers. 7ffer diverse alternatives to traditional texts % text light, actions faster and more reader friendly format. 0ntroduce literary wor's li'e the classics to young adults who would probably not read them in their traditional novel form. 8eading graphic novels may re1uire more complex cognitive s'ills than the reading of texts alone.

Synopsis

+et in ###, +herloc' >olmes and <r. Watson are called down to Boscombe 4alley (a fictitious place in >erefordshire$ to investigate the death of :r. =harles :c=arthy. 0nsp. 9estrade, a detective from +cotland Oard whose meager abilities are often upstaged by >olmesGs brilliant deductions, has concluded without much ado that it is a murder, and that :c=arthyGs son ,ames is the 'iller. ,ames was seen by one witness following his father to the nearby pond, and another, a young girl, saw the two remonstrating with each other by the pond. >olmes will not accept 9estradeGs conclusion, however, as there are some facts that simply do not seem to fit. Who was :c=arthy going to the pond to meetP >e had told his serving*man that he had to 'eep an appointment there, from which he never came bac' alive. >ow could the meeting have been with ,ames when :c=arthy believed that his son was in BristolP Why did :c=arthy use the call H=ooeeQH, which his son is used to usingP Why did he get angry with ,amesP Why wonGt ,ames reveal the exact nature of the conversation when his silence might well put his nec' in a nooseP >ow did a piece of clothing a few yards from ,ames and his dying father vanish without a trace while ,ames was right thereP What did :c=arthyGs dying words about Ha ratH meanP Who could have wanted :c=arthy dead, if not ,ames, and whyP 0s :iss &urner, who wants to marry ,ames, somehow tied into all thisP >olmes employs his usual 'een powers to unravel this tangle of 1uestions, and once again, he puts 9estrade to shame. Ooung ,ames is left in @ail by the time the story ends, and may not even be spared a referral to the next assi?es, but +herloc' >olmes has arranged for >er :a@estyGs case against the young man to fall apart if it seems li'ely that a court will send him to the

Background Information
The Real Boscom*e %alley +herloc' >olmes describes to Watson en route to the murderI "'oscombe (alley is a country district not very far from )oss* in Herefordshire&" &here is no such location by this name or description in England. 9eslie +. Alinger in his &he (ew ;nnotated +herloc' >olmes calls it Ga disguised nameG and lists the possible true locations of the murder site as posted by other researchers. 7bviously Watson changed the location of the crime. &hrough that insight, it is possible that names and other identifying characteristics of the crime would have @ust as easily been changed. Adaptation &he events of this story were recently adapted into a promenade*style play for the -.." Edinburgh 2estival, now under the name of H:urder in the 5ardensH. 0n this version of the story, although most of the names and histories of the characters remain unaltered, the events of the mystery are relocated to Edinburgh, with the murder of :c=arthy ta'ing place in 6rinces +treet 5ardens and >olmes and Watson being called in while attending lectures on police methods in Edinburgh Bniversity. ;s well as this, the 'iller is, in the end, revealed to be ,ane &urnerGs mother rather than her father, her father having died long before the events of the play, with ,ames :c=arthy cleared of the crime after WatsonGs diagnosis of the body confirms that it would have been impossible for the son to 'ill his father due to the angle and location of the wound on the bac' of the head.

$ee+ing t"e (rut" Being an investigator, +herloc' >olmes must ta'e into account all the evidence put forward and analyse them to prove whether ,ames :c=arthy is innocent or not. 0f he had only relied on what

16

the papers and rumours said about ,ames, he would not be able to solve the case successfully. Weighing the facts, evidence, the accuserFs statement and the physical evidence at the crime scene, +herloc' >olmes proves that a thorough investigation to see' the truth will be worthwhile. 5eeping a secret &here are two instances where this is shown. &he first instance is when +herloc' >olmes writes a letter inviting ,ohn &urner to his house wanting to see him to avoid scandal. 0t was at that moment) ,ohn &urner brea's down and confesses to the 'illing of =harles :c=arthy. +herloc' >olmes later as's ,ohn &urner to write a confession letter and promises to use it only if ,ames is found guilty. &owards the end of the story, ,ohn &urner dies) ,ames gets out of prison and marries ;lice. +herloc' >olmes 'eeps his promise and desroyes the letter. (ext instance is when =harles :c=arthy promises to 'eeep the old secret between him and ,ohn &urner about their past. >e brea's his promises and uses it to blac'mail ,ohn &urner, who has turned a new leaf and lives a well and respected life. >ere , we can see how a secret can bring more harm than good. )eing 5no&ledgea*le Being 'nowledgeable really helps in solving the case. +herloc' >olmes, using his 'nowledge and experinces, cleverly solves the mystery. Anowing the word RcooeeF is an ;ustralian word and associating R8aatF with Ballarat really helps to narrow down the suspect. (ext, when +herloc' >olmes is at the crime scene, he examines the footprints. >e also ta'es into account the unusual mar' on =harlesFs head and where he was hit. >e also deduce that the murderer is a rich man from the ashes of the 0ndian cigar he found at the crime scene.
