As a die-hard LOST fan The Blot was extremely excited for the world premier of ABC’s Once Upon A Time. Sadly, I’ve found the show somewhat boring and have actually enjoyed NBC’s Grimm much more than Once and its start studded cast. However, when I saw the amazing Kevin Tong was illustrating the official Once Upon A Time book and Mondo would be producing a Once Screen Print Series to tie in with the book’s release, well my interest was piqued to say the least! This collection of Grimm’s classic fairy tales is scheduled for a December 27, 2011 release, but you can pre-order it now at Amazon.com for just $10.87! That’s worth the Tong artwork alone in my book.
Official Description: "Once upon a time...." Four simple words that, after more than two centuries, still have the ability to transport readers to lands of mystery, intrigue and betrayal, life and death, love and abandon.
