"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," stated Snicket in the book's original announcement. The new edition of Pinocchio features illustrations by Mignola and colorist Dave Stewart, as well as over 100 pages of annotations by Snicket which will be included as inserts in the book. It doesn't get much simpler than that when it comes to Mignola's unique and quirky brand of comic horror. They are awkward and both funny and creepy." Some people have asked me why," Mignola states to Newsarama. Speaking of his own fascination with puppets and why Pinocchio is his next project, Mignola offered a succinct and straightforward explanation. The mixed media materials include plywood, cardboard, paper, fabric polymer clay, wire, lightbulb and carved Redbud wood."
