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 Labyrinth 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: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This is a fantastic graphic novel adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. It works well as a YA adaptation but is sophisticated enough to be appreciated by adults. Shelley’s original challenging prose is complemented by beautiful illustrations that make it more approachable. The story stays true to the original, following the classic plot and format. Told through letters and multiple points of view, it traces Victor Frankenstein’s descent into madness and hubris. I loved the art style. The letters were written in script, slightly difficult to adjust to at first, but it immediately gave the book an authentic, old-timey feel. The illustrations were bold, morbid, and at times even charming, while also grotesque in others. The bold ink lines and muted watercolors perfectly captured the historical atmosphere. I also appreciated the variety of artistic approaches, especially in the monster’s point-of-view sections, where the style evolved along with his growth. This is an exceptional adaptation of the classic Frankenstein. It not only honors the original but also reimagines it for modern readers. I’m excited to have discovered Gris Grimly’s work and look forward to exploring more of it. Art:5/5 My Enjoyment: 5/5 Review: Gorgeous book! - It took 17 days to get here, but it’s well worth the wait. This is a gorgeous book! Shelley’s original text + Grimly’s haunting illustrations = a must-have addition to any collection. I absolutely love it! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #793,325 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #102 in Teen & Young Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy Comics #141 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature #3,451 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 382 Reviews | ## Images ![Gris Grimly's Frankenstein: A Graphic Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QCkYtiCqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *by J***C on October 3, 2025* This is a fantastic graphic novel adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
