This DF post shows all of the interior artwork from the UK Holmes Basic rulebook. The art is by Fangorn aka Chris Baker, later artist for the Redwall series (UK covers only). The title page artwork also shows the cyclops humanoids, and its a redraw of the US one, so in this picture they are replacing orcs. The other one is slightly larger, so could be a re-skinned ogre.

From the Alien Shores blog. One image from the UK Holmes rulebook is NSFW.

"There are a few lawful-neutral dwarven paladins running around in certain long-term AD&D® and D&D® game campaigns because of a poorly explained rule in the old Supplement 1, Greyhawk, for the original boxed D&D® game set" - Roger E. Moore, Dragon #118 (1987), referring to the fact that in the Greyhawk Supplement (1975), paladins had to be Lawful but there is no mention of them having to be human.

New: "Holmes Supplement: Portown", by Thorkhammer on Dragonsfoot.

New: "Holmes Supplement: Portown", by Thorkhammer on Dragonsfoot. Free download via Lulu. I haven't looked over the whole thing yet, but the map is based on an earlier map by Paleologos that I like a lot.
