This 168 page volume covers GFT #37-42 plus a new short story “The Collection”. Seven fantastic tales and a pin-up / cover gallery at $15.99 is a pretty solid deal. This volume’s run covers four classic interpretation, the intro to the Marcy Dante (more supernatural thriller and less fantasy horror) series and my personal fav, Baba Yaga. Buying this is an easy call, it is tough to get your hands on any of the earlier volumes (if you can, jump on it) and I have never heard of collected Grimm Fairy Tales leading to buyer’s remorse. I doubt your locally-owned comic shop will be able to keep these on the shelf, reserve yours now.
Bottom line: A solid price for a exceptionally fun read!
