Fairy tales and comics! This was meant to be. Like peanut butter and jelly, nuts and bolts, rhyme and reason.
Editor/writer/artist Chris Duffy has assembled a wonderfully diverse group of fairy tales - from classic Grimm and Perrault to non-European gems - and challenged the coolest bunch of graphic storytelling artists to bring them to life.
The result is a collection of absolutely powerful, funny, and pleasing fairy tales ... in the most kid-friendly form.
I was enchanted by Gilbert Hernandez's fresh retelling of Hansel and Gretel , thrilled by Luke Pearson's The Boy Who Drew Cats , and tickled by Charise Mericle Harper's The Small Tooth Dog .
But that's just me.
