“Edge of the Unknown” is on based the true-to-life friendship between Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Set in the year 1923, we follow these two famous historical figures as they try to solve the murder of a young woman, who was the daughter of Houdini’s friend. However, the story soon takes the reader far beyond what one would expect with such an introduction. Jon Vinson’s story and Marco Roblin’s illustrations work in unison to plunge the reader into a dark and terrible world where nothing is what it seems. A world where even the most famous magician of all time and the creator of “Sherlock Holmes” will need help to make it out alive. I can think of very few graphic novels that I can honestly admit I have been blind-sided by, however, this is definitely one of them. This story combines elements of horror and history to give us a combination that is wonderful. Slowly building from what seems to be an open-and-shut murder mystery, this graphic novel quickly changes pace, presenting the reader with a dark and supernatural side of Hollywood you wouldn’t expect.
