Description
Alice is back in Wonderland. Here she meets the White Rabbit, who leads her down into his rabbit hole in search of an illustrated edition of H. C. Artmann's Frankenstein in Sussex. Over the course of the novel, Alice repeatedly runs into the Rabbit, who quotes freely from other literary works by the likes of Herman Melville and E. M. Cioran.
Unlike in Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice is not traveling the Wonderland we know. Rather, in Nicolas Mahler's whimsical graphic novel retelling, she is in a house deep beneath the ground. On subsequent floors, she encounters the famous creations of Lewis Carroll: the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and many others. One after the other, these creatures address the terrors of childhood and youth. It is only when Alice reaches the ground floor of the house that we arrive at the inevitable climax: face to face with Frankenstein's Monster.

Ver-rückt und witzig
Diese Graphic Novel verknüpft die Geschichte von Alice im Wunderland und Frankenstein und erfindet sie neu. Die Figuren sind verrückt aber mit Bezug zur heutigen Zeit und auch Alice ist modern und nicht auf den Mund gefallen. Damit setzt Mahler die alten Geschichten in einen neuen Kontext. Die Geschichte ist witzig und clever. Besonders schön sind die Zeichnungen, die hintersinnig und ungewöhnlich sind und oft den Rahmen des Comics sprengen.
