Description
A variation of my previous illustration grouping these famous detectives and gentleman thief together based on a suggestion by one of my Facebook friends. Which he suggested that the story should be set in 1900 and the characters should appear as they would during that time.C. Auguste Dupin would be about 90, Sherlock Holmes about 45, Miss Jane Marple could be about 10 (inspired to a life of solving mysteries by the story), Hercule Poirot would be around 25, and A.J. Raffles would be about 25/30.
The concept was too good to pass up

Look good, and I have to ask do you know about the book series "Tales of the Shadowmen?"

I'm not familiar with that series.

Then can I recommend it. It is, to quote wikipedia - "[...] an annual anthology of short stories edited by Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier, published by Black Coat Press. [...] The stories take place in a fictional world where all of the characters and events from adventure literature, and in particular French adventure literature, actually exist in the same universe."
So you can have Doctor Omega (who they hint is Dr. Who) team up with Albert Einstein; the Count of Monte-Cristo working with Lord Ruthven; FantΓ΄mas dulling with Irma Vep of Les Vampires; Captain Nemo escaping Cthulhu; etc. etc.

That sounds awesome I'm definitely going to check this book out right now.
Reminds me of the sort of stuff Kim Newman would write.

Hrm. I'm thinking that meeting of egos would involve explosions...

I would imagine that would definitely be the case
