      The Final Problem - Petr Kopl

      Title Page

      Publisher Information

      Preface

      It has been a number of years since I first encountered comics. I cannot even remember the first one. Among these were Foglar’s Fast arrows (Rychlé šípy), which was read with much excitement in old tattered copies of magazines such as Mladý hlasatel or Vpřed.

Over time, classic newspaper strips appeared from the USA containing favourite comic book characters such as Peanuts by Charles Schultze, which featured my favourite character, Snoopy. This all happened at some point in the 1970s, by which time I was already deeply engaged with Sherlock Holmes, supported by the various clippings sent to me by fellow Sherlockian and collector from Washington. From then on, my encounters with comics were infrequent, usually only if the genre was of particular interest to me.
