Read for Free the First Chapter of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Graphic Novel

The first issue of Vertigo's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo graphic novel doesn't hit bookshelves until this November, but the publisher has made available the opening chapter free to view.

Based on the first book in the Millennium Trilogy of thrillers by Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo delves into the dark mystery of the Vanger family, as disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is hired to uncover the truth behind a teenage girl's disappearance over forty years ago.

(We should say that, based on what we had to go through, the cumbersome process of actually seeing the first chapter is not at all intuitive. We eventually ended up at ComiXology — there seem to be other options but none worked for us — where we did "purchase" the chapter for free after registering an account. But in spite of their corporate tagline "Digital Comics: Buy Once, Read Anywhere" we can't figure out how to actually read the chapter anywhere other than on the ComiXology website. Still, it does seem worth the effort; the comic is really quite well done.)
