The Big Book of Grimm

A single oversized issue from DC’s 1999 line, The Big Book of Grimm offers a darkly humorous, encyclopedia-style tour through the original, unvarnished fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Written by Jonathan Vankin and illustrated by George Freeman, it strips away the Disneyfied veneer to present the bloody, bizarre, and morally complex roots of stories like Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. This one-shot stands as a clever, illustrated reference for anyone curious about the folklore that shaped modern fantasy.
