"Gris Grimly has a natural empathy with the disenfranchised, the lost. It is very telling that he, like me, is attracted to Frankenstein and Pinocchio-lost souls abandoned by their creators in an uncaring universe. His line work becomes more elegant and precise with each book, but it also becomes more emotional and expressive. Gris is a fabulist with the soul of a graveyard poet." - Guillermo del Toro, director of Frankenstein and Pan's LabyrinthGris 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.
