Gris Grimly's Frankenstein

Description: "Gris Grimly's Frankenstein" adapted from the original text by Mary Shelley - Illustrated by Gris Grimly - 1st EDITION 2nd PRINT Softcover (6-5/8" x 10-1/4") Graphic Novel - Published in 2013 by Balzer - 192 pages in sepia tones - EXCELLENT condition. Shelley's Frankenstein can be considered a lot of things; easy reading is not one of them. Grimly's version carefully strips down the original text, keeping only the bare bones of the story, and accompanies it with his comically gothic illustrations. 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. This graphic-novel format works exceptionally well during moments of dialogue, as readers can really see a range of emotions that would otherwise be lost through Shelley's dense language. Scenes that especially stand out have little or none of the borrowed text at all, relying only on the art to masterfully tell the story. Grimly's beautiful version is a great way to immerse a new audience in this important work. There is only some minor edge wear and a very tiny crease on the bottom corner of the cover (see the scan), but this graphic novel is still in EXCELLENT condition. No collection of Frankenstein items is complete without this graphic novel. Please see the scan for the great artwork on the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the graphic novel in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my graphic novels have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please request an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount.
