The result is less a graphic novel than an illustrated version of Shelley’s book that 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.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review, about Gris Grimly's Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Grimly’s fans have been awaiting this reworking of Shelley’s 1818 classic for four years, and they will rejoice in the end result. Spidery ink lines and a palette of jaundiced yellows and faded sepias plumb the darkness of the writer’s imaginings. Fans will return to these pages obsessively; readers encountering the story for the first time may find Grimly’s images rise to view whenever they think of it.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly (starred review), about Gris Grimly's Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Gris has a natural empathy with the disfranchised, 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 and more emotional and expressive. Gris is a fabulist with the soul of a graveyard poet.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuillermo del Toro, director of Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth  Guillermo del Toro, director of Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth  Guillermo del Toro, director of Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth, about Gris Grimly's Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“From the Neo-Victorian clothing and emo hairdos to the steampunk backdrop of Victor Frankenstein’s lab, Grimly’s unique and twisted style blends perfectly with the material and breathes new life into these characters and situations.
