Product Description
When the supernatural world spins out of control, when the police can’t handle what goes bump in the night, when monsters come screaming out of nightmares and into the mean streets, there’s just one man to call: Harry Dresden, the only professional wizard in the Chicago phone book. A police consultant and private investigator, Dresden has to walk the dangerous line between the world of night and the light of day.
Now Harry Dresden is investigating a brutal mauling at the Lincoln Park Zoo that has left a security guard dead and many questions unanswered. As an investigator of the supernatural, he senses that there’s more to this case than a simple animal attack, and as Dresden searches for clues to figure out who is really behind the crime, he finds himself next on the victim list, and being hunted by creatures that won’t leave much more than a stain if they catch him.
Written exclusively for comics by Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle is a brand-new story that’s sure to enchant readers with a blend of gripping mystery and fantastic adventure.

 Neat Concept December 2, 2008
Janet Dykstra (Marquette, Michigan)
Wasn't sure what I would think about a Harry Dresden graphic novel. A lot of the fun of the Dresden series is the imagination involved in picturing the stories. I have to say though, I really enjoyed this. Well writen and drawn, it was a fun ride. My only complaint is it was too short (at least to what I am used to in a Dresden story).
If you are a Harry Dresden fan then get this. You'll like it.

I enjoyed this installment of the series. I prefer traditional books to "comic books" but this one was well done and well illustrated. I will buy the next one when it comes out.

For Dresden Files this is a requirement, for non-Dresden File fans, where the heck have you been? Great artwork, plenty of meat in the text, and it's all Harry Dresden--Chicago's yellow page advertizing wizard extraordinaire. It's great to see an art image that doesn't grate against the author's literary vision. Well, there is the monk's skull cap hair of the cop Carmichael, but the author's brilliant detail checkers didn't get a say until later in the process. Hey--he's a minor character anyway and we all know what happens eventually to the minor character, right? :-)
The story is a pre-quel to the books--so that's why it's a must for a Dresden Fan.
 Nothing new November 25, 2008

I am a huge fan, but was disappointed by this first graphic novel. There was nothing new in this work. If you have read all the Dresden books, you will learn nothing about Harry you didn't already know. In fact, if you haven't read the books you will likely be confused on several points.
I agree that the Dresen series lends itself to the graphic novel genre, and could make a good run at it. Just give us new material. I understand this took place before the first novel, but there still could have been at least a small amount of information (maybe about his mother?) that we didn't have before.
Over all, it's worth buying, just didn't live up to my expectations
