The Girl Who Played with Fire #[nn]

Vertigo's 2015 graphic novel adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl Who Played with Fire brings the beloved thriller to vivid sequential-art life, with writer Denise Mina leading a talented artistic team including Andrea Mutti, Antonio Fuso, and Leonardo Manco. Lee Bermejo's striking cover says everything — Lisbeth Salander, fierce and leather-clad, holds a ball of fire that blazes with red and orange intensity, her expression coolly defiant against a fiery backdrop that feels both dangerous and magnetic. It's a compelling visual introduction to one of crime fiction's most compelling characters, rendered with moody confidence befitting the Vertigo imprint.
