Gris Grimly was born much later, but he too experienced tragedy and dismay throughout his life. Considered a Mad Creator among colleagues, he is known for collecting raw materials and assembling them into his own wretched creations. These reanimated tales include Edgar Allan Poes Tales of Mystery and Madness, Edgar Allan Poes Tales of Death and Dementia, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Pinocchio. He has also given life to original forms like Neil Gaimans The Dangerous Alphabet and his own Wicked Nursery Rhymes series, among other demented favorites.
