Description
In this final graphic novel adaptation of Stieg
Larsson's international bestseller, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical
condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a
Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than
one: If and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to
stand trial for three murders. With the help of journalist Mikael
Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also
identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the
vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her
own, she will plot revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and
the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.

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. It's the story you remember, with a modern comic
flare that gives a visual life to these characters."--
Complex Magazine
"Denise
Mina (Hellblazer, A Sickness in the Family) is right at home here,
diving head first into the Swedish crime series without any reservations
of losing the reader along the way. 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
