Fan Zine on London's Greatest Detective

  • Alice Mansfield

This was a fan zine that I made on Chief Detective Wensley, a famous detective from the last century that I discovered after a trip to the Bishopsgate Institution. I found learning about this man very interesting as he was widely praised and treated like celebrity, a real life Sherlock Holmes. As a sucker for a good mystery film or book I had to research into him more. I thought a fanzine was the perfect medium to use to introduce people to this interesting man. I used newsprint for the zine and used typical fonts from the 20th century, similar to the ones I saw used in the newspaper clippings about him. This was very fun to do and I think I will definitely create another fanzine.
