Advance Praise

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the rare comic book adaptation that actually works. If you've read the book and seen the movies, then you might as well go all in and check out Vertigo's take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Vertigo's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Book 1 is an enjoyable and intelligent crime yarn that is almost minimalist in its presentation."--IGN

"It's hard to imagine someone better suited to adapt Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo as a graphic novel than Scottish crime author Denise Mina."--Los Angeles Times/Hero Complex
