Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is Marilyn Monroe like you've never seen her before.
Chasing fame and immortality, a downtrodden Norma Jean Baker runs away to the famously twisted Holy Wood, where dreams become reality. She gives in to the powers that be, and allows herself to be reinvented into Marilyn, a real movie star. Though Marilyn dances in the limelight, it's not bright enough to purge the demons that crept through Norma's past, and lurk in the shadows of her present. Written and illustrated by Tommy Redolfi, Marilyn's Monsters immerses readers--through its abstract and evocative art and cinematic storytelling--in a beautifully dark world that obscures the line between dreams and nightmares.
First published in France under the title "Holy Wood" -- in 2016
The famous Hollywood Hills. A strange spooky forest filled with freaks and old trailers. This is where movie stars are born in this alternate world. Determined to become one, shy Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) comes to this ghost-town with hopes and dreams. She'll have to face all kinds of monsters to reach her ultimate goal.
