About the series
In 2009, IDW brought video game designer American McGee's darkly whimsical vision to comics with American McGee's Grimm, a five-issue series that reimagines classic fairy tales through a twisted, macabre lens. The story follows the titular Grimm, a cynical and morbid character who travels the world to "fix" saccharine stories by injecting them with grisly, violent, and surreal elements. Written by McGee and illustrated by various artists, the series stands as a cult-favorite exploration of subverted childhood narratives, offering a grimly humorous and visually striking take on folklore that aligns with McGee's signature style from games like American McGee's Alice.
