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 \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePan's Labyrinth\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGris Grimly's Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e 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.

A tale of science and morality, of love and loss, of hope and despair, the account of Victor Frankenstein's terrifying experiments into the very nature of life and death still echoes two hundred years after its original composition--an enduring reminder of man's ability to create and his ability to destroy. It has inspired generations of writers, artists, and filmmakers, and has borne countless adaptations--in print, on the stage, and on the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut nothing quite like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGris Grimly, another student of unhallowed arts and master of gothic horror, has long considered \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e to be one of his chief inspirations.
