{"product_id":"grimm-john-kenn-mortensen-9798875002236","title":"Grimm: Book One","description":"Artist John Kenn Mortensen returns to the Fantagraphics catalogue like a lich haunting the living with his mastery over the dark arts. Meanwhile, authors Kenneth B gh Andersen and Benni B dker split yarn-spinning duties to reanimate perennials like \"Hansel and Gretel\" and obscure threads like \"Fitcher's Bird\" alike. \u003cp\u003eThese interpretations aren't out to turn the classic tales on their head; instead, they dig into the eldritch roots of these fables, hearkening to a superstitious and dangerous time. When brigands and plague were as much a threat as bewitching fairies and ferocious beasties. Permeating throughout are Mortensen's exquisitely eerie renderings, distilling a dread that hovers just overhead, like a tree full of hanged men in a primeval forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntrepid and fearful, shrewd and greedy alike are disfigured, devoured, bedevilled. Only the toughest will come out the other end stronger for it. These are fairy tales for those who would rather trade in happily-ever-after for the uneasy relief that (un)settles upon waking from a nightmare; for those who don't listen when they're told to follow the beaten path; who don't care to leave breadcrumbs as they go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeek out \u003cem\u003eGRIMM\u003c\/em\u003e, but don't get lost on the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Kenn Mortensen,Benni Bødker,Kenneth Bøgh Andersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798875002236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"John Kenn Mortensen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47612074819839,"sku":"9798875002236","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df5ea9ee-7fb6-4298-94a5-103374df35e1.jpg?v=1764518009","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grimm-john-kenn-mortensen-9798875002236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
