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. Review: Gris Grimly grande - Me encanta Grimly.. Me lo pillé en inglés y luego lo sacó Planeta en español... Tanto correr, tanto correr... bueno, pero me costó casi la mitad. Review: A beautiful edition of a classic - "For the first time I felt what the duties of a creator towards his creature were." I bought this 8 years ago, when I first discovered Grimly as an illustrator. Since then, it has sat on my bookshelf, patiently waiting for me to pick it up. I have read Frankenstein before, and I seem to remember when I read it, that I found it sad more than anything. As with many people, the expectations that I brought to my first reading of the novel were tarnished by snippets of films that I had seen, based upon the myth. What Grimly has done with his illustrated edition, is to bring the classic horror to a new audience. His artwork perfectly compliments this Gothic tale, but if you are not familiar with his work, it may be worth you checking it out before investing in this book. As for the story itself, it is horrific and sad in equal measure. You have the horror of what Victor Frankenstein does, by bringing life to something which should not be walking this earth. You then have the horror of him rejecting his creation, and the repercussions that this brings upon those around Victor, as well as himself. This is not just a horror tale, it is horror with morals at its heart. ## Features - Balzer Bray Harperteen ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 273 Reviews | ## Images ![Balzer + Bray Gris Grimly's Frankenstein - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71md-V+vtcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gris Grimly grande *by W***D on 21 May 2019* Me encanta Grimly..
