Fear Nothing
Christopher Snow is different from all those who live in Moonlight Bay California, different from anyone you’ve ever met. For Christopher Snow was born with a rare genetic disorder he shares with only one thousand other Americans, a disorder that leaves him extremely vulnerable to the light; a light-sensitivity so severe that he cannot leave his house in daylight, cannot enter a normally-lit room, and cannot sit at a computer. His life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must embrace the darkness. Only at night that he is truly free. And on one such night Chris witnesses a murder–a murder only he can solve.
For Chris Snow and all the inhabitants of Moonlight Bay, terrible change is on its way; a change of potentially catastrophic proportions. But as one forced to live in the shadows, Chris Snow knows the night world better than the dark adversaries that stalk his quiet town. And along with his exceptional dog Orson, and his friends, Snow will challenge those who try to take away the only home he knows.
When you live in the darkness of Moonlight Bay as Christopher Snow does, and you are desperately trying to save the day, you learn to FEAR NOTHING!

It has been a long time since I read the novel of Fear Nothing and I was a little worried that I would not remember the storyline while reading the graphic novel. The graphic novel does it job in telling the story and did a real convincing job of displaying emotions of the characters. The artwork was decent but could use a little improvement. There were a couple of pages where characters looked too much alike. All in all, this was a nice read and I hope we don't have to wait too long for the result of the cliffhanger this book ended on.

I really enjoyed this. Too bad we don't have the rest of the story in graphic novel form :-(
Likewise Dean Koontz/Chris Snow fans mourn that the third book in the Moonlight Bay/Chris Snow Series has never been published.
In the forward, Dean Koontz writes:
I have promised to write the third Chris Snow, and I will. In fact, I have begun it. Meanwhile, I am delighted with this graphic novel, and I think Derek Ruiz, Grant Alter, and Robert Gill have produced a brilliant adaptation. So hang on and hang ten through this apocalypse with monkeys.
The official name of the series in Moonlight Bay. In one picture in the graphic novel, I found it strange that the police station has the name "Midnight Bay Police" on the front - I wonder if this was a mistake?
My favorite scenes feature Monkeys and Dolls :-)

Foreword by Dean Koontz
Inspiration is a stranger animal than people think. Readers tend to suppose that ideas for novels come to me in bad dreams. In fact, I've never gotten an idea from a nightmare.
. . . .
In the case of Fear Nothing, however, a magazine article did have something to do with my inspiration. People ran a story about children with xerodermapigmentosum (XP), an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to repair damage to the skin and eyes caused by exposure to the sun and other sources of light. Cumulative damage can lead to terminal cancer. People with XP have to live by night and candlelight, always in the shadows.
Chapter One
I have lived more than 28 years which is a miracle of sorts - although some people, seeing my life from outside, might think it a curse.
________
These four-legged citizens of Moonlight Bay seem to possess a more complex understanding of life and kindness than at least some of my neighbors.
________
These people were not attracted to me because of anything especially winning about my personality or special love for my father. Everyone who knew him loved him. But to these dedicated healers, I represent that thing . . . beyond their ability to cure.
_________
His name was Steven Snow, and he was a great man. He never won a war or wrote a great novel, but he was greater than any general or prize winning novelist who ever lived.
He was great because he was kind. He was humble, gentle, full of laughter. He was a literature professor. The sort of professor his students remained in touch with decades after leaving his classroom.
Though I circumscribed his life virtually from the day I was born, he never once made me feel that he regretted fathering me or that I was anything less than an unmitigated joy and a source of undiluted pride to him.
He lived with dignity and never failed to celebrate what was right with the world.
_________
My Dad, Mom and I talked about novels, old movies, politicians, poetry, music, history, science, religion, owls and raccoons and bats and other creatures that shared the night with me.
We discussed everything. No program of physical exercise was complete in our house if we didn't include a daily workout of the tongue.
_________
I seize the night and ride it as though it were a great black stallion.
Happiness was mine to choose or reject, and I embraced it.
Chapter Two
I decided to go the way of the cat.
_________
Suddenly everything seemed significant.
________
Love You Snowman.
Love You.
That's our little mantra.
It's our truth.
Chapter Three
We're talking something criminal?
Deeply and weird.
________
. . . I rose to my full height and ran like a cat, an owl, wondering if I would find safe shelter before dawn, or if I would still be afoot to curl and blacken under the hot rising sun.
________
Angela's quick, nervous hopping-hen eyes pecked at me and then the patio to confirm I had come alone.
________
No one can carry the entire world on her shoulders.
Some of us better try.
________
You've got so many friends . . . but there're enemies you don't know about. Dangerous bastards. And some of them are strange. They're becoming.
I've been wondering where to begin . . how to tell you. I think I should start with the monkey.
_________
I'm becoming another Angela. Something I don't want to be.
Chapter Four
Sometimes there is no darker place than our own thoughts: the moonless midnight of the mind.
________
I was simultaneously touched and creeped out.
_________
This darkness was so bottomless that it didn't welcome even me. All was blackness on blackness.
_________
The Halloway Interpretation would be I had seen the truth reflected in Orson's eyes from my own heart and I was unwilling to look upon it directly.

While this is an older book, I fell in love with it only a few chapters in. This is hands down my favourite book that I have read this year! A pleasant surprise for me as I was not expecting anything! Well done Mr. Koontz!
June 15, 2016
This book is an adaptation of Dean Koontz' novel Fear Nothing, which I have not read. I quite liked this adaptation of it though. It was included as part of a bundle that I purchased through Humble Bundle.
The main character, Christopher Snow, suffers from a rare genetic disorder that causes him to have severe negative reactions to light. This means that he spends most of his life indoors and in darkness, using candles for a small amount of light when necessary. After his father dies, Christopher uncovers a group that wants to prevent him from discovering the cause.
The story moves along at a nice pace. The introduction to Christopher and his affliction is handled well. There are times when I found myself forgetting about it until I noticed him doing something strange because of it. His disease is something that recurs throughout the story, and it can add some spooky elements at times.
The tension is handled well. As Christopher seeks friends who may be able to help him get to the bottom of his investigation, he gets wrapped up in strange events. The art didn't strike me as anything spectacular though. It's not bad, but it was really secondary to the story rather standing alongside it.
It doesn't look like the second volume has been released yet, which is disappointing as I find myself unlikely to pick up the novel to read the rest of the story.

This might be a good story in total, but this volume doesn't present it. The collection includes four issues and absolutely no resolution. In fact, it hardly even makes the story present. You've got a protagonist Chris Snow who is hypersensitive to light, whose father dies and then things happen. Like hyper-intelligent animals and an evil monkey. And corpse swapping, and stolen eyeballs and mysterious dolls. It's like a laundry list of concepts that are all thrown at the wall, to see which stick. And I'll admit, it's interesting. But there is absolutely no resolution here, or even minimal closure. Chris is running around in the dark being chased by unknowns and finding out that there's a conspiracy, but no details about what the conspiracy involves. And then people die.
If you're a fan of the novel I understand it's based on, you will probably appreciate the collection. The art is decent if unmemorable, and the writing is pretty strong (the first issue especially as it deals with mundane issues for the most part). If you have the rest of the story, it might all tie together in an interesting, cohesive story. But being left hanging where this volume stops gives me no motivation to try to get the rest of the story.

This graphic novel tells the first part of Koontz's story about 28-year-old Christopher Snow who lives in the city of Moonlight Bay, California. Chris has XP (xeroderma pigmentosum) a very rare genetic disease that makes light deadly to him. He has lived his life in darkness, using candlelight instead of regular light and covering up as completely as possible when forced to go out in daytime. The story opens with the death of his father. Both his father and mother have succumbed to cancer and, while Chris is saddened at their deaths, he doesn't think there is anything nefarious about the circumstances until....
Directly after his father's death, he witnesses an exchange in the hospital parking garage that leads him to believe that all is not as it seems. Before he knows it, he's being stalked by military-types and family friends who help shelter him begin dying. He teams up with his best surfing buddy Bobby in an attempt to find out what's going on before the stalkers catch up to him.
Full disclosure: I needed a Dean Koontz book for a reading challenge. Otherwise, I would never have picked this one up--I didn't think Koontz would be my cup of tea. Now I'm disgruntled to find out that this was volume one in what was supposed to be a complete graphic novel series based on the original book. But Koontz never finished the graphic novels. And now...I think I'm going to have to get the original book because Koontz hooked me and now I want to know what happened to Chris's parents and what the big secret about the military base at Moonlight Bay is. So, Dean Koontz, you did your job. You got me interested and now I have to read the rest. It may not be my standard type of mystery, but there's definitely a mystery to be solved. It may have a weird solution (not having ever read a Dean Koontz book before, who know?), but as long as it makes sense I'll be satisfied. Off to figure out if my library has to original novel....

So it looks like this is only part of the story, and they never finished it in graphic novel form. I just picked up the book to start where the comic left off.
I will leave a suggestion for where readers of this comic should start for a smooth transition soon.
This volume was enough to pique my interest. The mystery builds in layers and gets more interesting.
It starts with the visceral (a character who cares about his parents, in particular his dying father).
Then it goes into a possible government/paranormal realm with some murder to up the ante on tension.
It reminded me a bit of a Harlan Coben book, just how the writing is done during moments of action. At its heart, this book is a thriller, and I enjoy learning more about thrillers as a genre.
Anyway, the art work doesn’t suck. I don’t know why so many people on here have shat upon it. I liked it well enough.
I’m actually excited to see how I visualize this novel now that I have had this aid.

Opt for the book instead....
Having been a fan of Koontz's Moonlight Bay 'trilogy' (it's been 22 years since book 2!!!) and graphic novels in general, I was excited to read this. The book itself is great, I'd highly recommend it, but the artwork for this doesn't seem too fit the story. The facial expressions are not drawn well enough to convey character's emotions, Christopher looks like different people in different scenes, it almost seems a bit amateurish, and just kinda disappointing.
I was tempted to give this 2 stars because of the style of the art, but the story itself is good. Dean Koontz had a habit of creating characters who you can really warm to and root for, and Christopher Snow is one such character.

Well, I really got this one wrong.
I never read anything from Dean Koontz before, nor any graphic novel adaptation.
I picked up this one on a whim, and now I regret it.
The story is interesting (although a bit verbose in fact) but when I reached the end of this volume I realized that I fell for the "missing conclusion" trap.
After realizing that this story is from a trilogy, I tried to find volumes 2 and 3.
No luck: volume 2 exists only in novel format and volume 3 was never written, after more than 2 decades.
So, even if I found the plot intriguing and worth a read, I was very disappointed when I realized I probably will never read the end of it.
For that reason, I won't recommend this one.

Well, that was terrible. It's only part one of an adaptation of a Dean Koontz novel. It ends in the middle of the story and it came out 15 years ago so I don't think we'll see it finished. Two big thumbs up Dynamite. (This part was sarcasm.)
It's about a guy who has a disease that makes him hypersensitive to light. His father dies and he falls into some conspiracy happening in his small town. There are murderous, smart monkeys around and everyone else in town appears to know what's going on. We never get an inkling. Did I mention that the art and coloring are both horrible? Because they are awful. The whole thing feels like I went to ChatGPT and said "Draw me a comic about the novel Fear Nothing.", but only the first part.

First I listened to this but when I chose edition here I could not find the audio version. I know it was enhanced by the wonderful narration yet it was an enjoyable story and any book that includes a dog this much is a plus.
The story was unique, the characters colorful, and dialogue interesting. I like the verbal banter among good friends and the subtle digs/parrying that took place.
The ending leaves room for more or nothing, just enough if you liked the book to read the next and not too much that you feel you must read the next like those bad movies about space that need prequels.

I’ve never been into graphic novels or comic books (besides the Archie series when I was a kid) and the only reason I decided to read one now was because it’s part of a reading challenge I’m doing for 2023. I picked this one because I recognized the author & I like some of his books.
Unfortunately I can’t say the same for this graphic novel. The premise of it sounded cool with him having a super rare genetic condition and all but his whole night seemed to derail in very dramatic flair that seemed kind of cliche and too over the top for my taste. I thought the illustrations were nice but as far as the story keeping me interested this one fell flat.

This was a real page turner — I kept having to flip through the pages to FF through all of the unneeded verbal vomit to get to the point. I believe in setting up scenes and characters, but this was ridiculous! Koontz just blabbers incessantly about things that have absolutely zero to do with the plot or characters. I threw in the towel at about 3/4 of the way through the book — something that I have NEVER done in my 50+ years of reading books. The sad part is that this could’ve been a very good book without all of the fluff.

I loved this book. Being different is difficult to deal with and I really enjoyed the positivity and acceptance that was throughout the book. The characters are amazingly well crafted full of great personalities complete with strengths and weaknesses. The narrative allows for insight into the hero’s feelings, emotions, thoughts, motivations and actions. The dialogue is witty and intelligent. The storyline flows smoothly and quickly full of action, adventure, unique concepts and thoughtful insights into what makes us human. It is a thought provoking thriller worth reading.

different read
This book was different. I liked it but to me it ended to soon and in a strange place. Way to many questions. I don't like ending a book with so many questions left unanswered and this book did not really answer any of my questions. It touched on things but just kept adding more questions with no answers and more blood and gore. A bit disappointed because I have always liked how Dean writes.

Fear Nothing thus far is my favorite of Koontz's work. I fell in love with the characters and the story that was being told. The protagonists unique medical condition was certainly an interesting and compelling aspect for the character. This book helped keep me awake and entertained when I worked overnight as a security guard, much like his other books had as well.

Love this graphic novel!
Fear Nothing and Seize the Night are Dean Koontz books that I absolutely love! I was always hoping he would write more books for this series. I was so excited to see Fear Nothing in graphic novel format. It doesn’t disappoint at all. I’m excited to read the rest of the book in subsequent graphic novels. I love this so much!

Had I known it was a comic book, I would not have wasted my time downloading it. Buyer beware Hard to read and basically pretty ridiculous I would be hard pressed to recommend this "book" to anyone.
Dean Koontz it is not. This should have been listed as Marvel or DC comics not as a real book

I have always been a fan of Dean Koontz, but was disappointed to discover that this was a graphic novel. I found the illustrations difficult to make out. The story is a little fantastic and gory. Plus, I didn't know that this was only book 1! I doubt that I will make an effort to continue with it.
March 31, 2025
Picked up this book in a thrift store and what a find! This is a very suspenseful and terrifying book to read. To think that something like this could happen and a quiet little town could be held hostage this way. Oh man that is a scary read. I loved it and had to buy the follow up book to it.
September 6, 2018
This was my first Dean Koontz book and still (along with its sequel) my favourite. No matter how dissatisfied i have become with some of his later work this book will always be on my read-again shelf.

Love the series, wish Dean would write the third book
Great adaptation, my favorite Dean Koontz series. Christopher Snow is one of the most original characters I've ever read. I wish Dean would to the series.

Interesting
I did not read the description so I thought I was downloading an actual book. I don't read graphic novels but thought it would be interesting. It was. I will definitely read the next installment.

Koontz is so good at mood and description. Chris Snow cannot stand the light and his friends are accommodating of that. He has an eye disease that is debilitating. Yet, he is going to have the fight of his life in the dark.

Love love love this series!! I highly recommend it. I'm a fan of Koontz, but I can't stand half of the books he's written, because they're so boring! Some of his others are favorites! This series is in my favorites!

Not one of his better ones. But still it's Dean Koontz. His imagination is limitless

Pretty poorly written and quite cheesy

I liked the story and am familiar with the source material but very upset that this is Volume 1 and there has not yet been a Volume 2, and this particular book left the reader up in the air.

"Planet of the Apes" meets "Flowers for Algernon." About 20% too many words.

Very good book for a sci fi.
