It’s just so brilliantly strange-very very funny and also heartbreakingly sad. “Probably starting with the Disney film and then really drilled into me when I finally read the Collodi novel. “I’ve been in love with PINOCCHIO as long as I can remember,” said Mignola. It’ll feature Mignola’s full portfolio of yet-to-be-published Pinocchio illustrations, including all the drawings done for the book, as well as additional art not included in the book, including paintings, process work for the project, and an original puppet from Red Nose Studios. If you want to get a jump on seeing Mignola’s work, head over to the New York’s Society of Illustrators exhibit from March 22nd to July 8th.
The project features plenty of options to purchase including a digital copy, but you won’t want to miss the slipped-in typewritten sheets produced by Snicket during his Pinocchio-induced descent into madness. “For many years I have been curious to see if I, too, will join the tradition of readers completely transformed into lunatics from a reading of PINOCCHIO, and although Carlo Collodi died long ago, I like to think that somewhere, somehow, he is interested in seeing what I might have to say as I read this book and likely lose my mind,” writes Snicket.
