Meanwhile, authors Kenneth Bøgh Andersen and Benni Bødker split yarn-spinning duties to reanimate perennials like \"Hansel and Gretel\" and obscure threads like \"Fitcher's Bird\" alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\n\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\n\u003cp\u003eSeek out GRIMM, but don’t get lost on the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\/Artist: \u003c\/strong\u003eBenni Bødker \/ Kenneth Bøgh Andersen \/ John Kenn Mortensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224pp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.75 x 9.75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardcover, b\/w\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate of Publication: \u003c\/strong\u003eAugust 11, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 979-8875002236 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48565353087232,"sku":"9788875002236","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3902\/files\/grimmbook1.jpg?v=1775229442","url":"https:\/\/atomicbooks.com\/products\/grimm-book-1","provider":"Atomic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
