This limited edition hard cover book, only 500 copies will ever be printed, and we were able to get our hands on one of them. If you remember I have this thing about Zenescope, and that makes these reviews biased in their favor, but this will be a little different. This is one hard title to find, it is not online at Amazon, and it is going for stupid pricing on eBay at this time. Knowing that it is a limited edition it seems that sellers are taking that to heart and making this an extraordinarily difficult title to find at a reasonable price. My best suggestion is to pick this up directly from Zenescope while there are still some in stock because once this puppy is gone, it is truly gone and prices are going to do nothing but rise over time.
For over two hundred years the powerful stories of the Brothers Grimm have enchanted millions around the world but there has never been an adaptation as intriguing or provocative as this. Grimm Fairy Tales Volume 1 explores a much darker side of the infamous fables you heard as a child as these classic tales are retold and re-imagined with a terrifying twist you’ll simply love as an adult. Red Riding Hood is forced to confront the insatiable hunger of terrifying beast; Cinderella seeks a shocking vengeance for the years of torture she’s endured; Hansel & Gretel realize that the problems they left behind at home are nothing compared to the horror that awaits them on their ill-advised journey; A desperate girl makes a deal with the hideous Rumpelstiltskin only to find she may lose much more than she ever imagined; Sleeping Beauty learns that narcissism can be a very gruesome trait to possess and an envious sister finds her extreme measures to capture the man of her dreams may lead to much worse than just heartbreak from the Robber Bridegroom.
Enter a world where morality is constantly tested and the shocking repercussions of one’s choices must always be faced. Enter the world of Grimm Fairy Tales. And that is exactly what you are doing, and it like most Zenescope titles is up to its exacting standards. This is an awesome collection of previously released Zenescope Grimm Fairy Tales, 1 through 6, plus some of the harder to find special editions that will make the most avid collector very happy. If you have a Zenescope collector in your family, then this is one of the more incredible books to find. Most of the Zenescope hardcovers sell out fast, and appreciate online or in stores very quickly. Brilliantly executed, written, colored, and penciled, with easy to read lettering, if you are a Zenescope fan, then you seriously want this title.
