FRACTURED FABLES :SILVERLINE BOOKS JOEL VALENTINO

Fractured Fables takes familiar fairy tales and nursery rhymes and turns them on their ear!

Like NO fairy tale book you've ever read before!

Thirty well-known fairy tales get a fresh look in this graphic anthology. Cinderella is a spoiled, pop-culture-addicted teenager who micromanages her fairy godmothers every preparation for Prince Charmings ball; Little Miss Muffet is an eager and curious arachnophile; and the Tortoise and the Hare hash it out again, this time in the ultimate pie-eating contest. Some of comics best and brightest have contributed to this collection. Standouts include Terry Moores (Echo, Strangers in Paradise) screamingly hilarious twist on The Frog Princewhich is loaded with wicked snark, brash characters, and inside jokesand Alexander Grecian and Christian Wards team-up on The Real Princess, a take on The Princess and the Pea that mixes classic storytelling, sharp humor, and beautifully ethereal artwork. All of the tales retold here are humorous while maintaining the sense of magic that fables usually invoke. The variety of art and stories provides a final collection that will appeal to middle-graders and adults as well as teens.
