Synopsis:
A chilling fantasy retelling of the Snow White fairy tale by New York Times bestselling creators Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran!
A not-so-evil queen is terrified of her monstrous stepdaughter and determined to repel this creature and save her kingdom from a world where happy endings aren't so happily ever after.
My Thoughts:
This is an absolutely fantastic graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's dark horror retelling of Snow White!
The illustrations are stunning. I loved the unique layering of scenes and sequences and the sheer amount of detail on every single page. They all have a wonderfully dark, surreal quality that fits the macabre quality of the story.
The story is rather fascinating, despite that the tale of Snow White is well known. Gaiman turned this classic fairytale on its head, switching where our sympathies lie and turning this into a truly dark and horrific but unique tale that I've yet to see in any retelling.
Content Warnings include nudity and somewhat pornographic images (breasts, bums, and some obviously sexual poses) and very dark and unpleasant themes such as necrophilia, gore, death, and dun-dun-dun... menstrual blood?
This is for adults.
