"Grimly enlivens the prose while retaining its power to both frighten
and engage sympathy for the monster-creator Victor Frankenstein. This is
a richly morose nightmare of a book, a primer for young readers on the
pleasures and dangers of decadent languidness."--New York Times Book
Review
Gris Grimly's Frankenstein is a twisted, fresh, and utterly original
full-length, full-color graphic-novel adaptation of Mary Shelley's
original text, brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Gris Grimly. The
first fully illustrated version to use the original 1818 text, this
handsome volume is destined to capture the imagination of those new to
the story as well as those who know it well.
New York Times bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly has long considered
Frankenstein to be one of his chief inspirations. From the bones and
flesh of the original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley's text to
his own artwork, creating something entirely new: a stunningly original
remix, both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive,
heart-stopping and heartbreaking.
