A stunning retelling of the classic Snow White.
This is beautifully restrained but chillingly monstrous.
The story is told from the ‘evil' Queen's perspective and provides an excellent narrative journey, showing all the elements that we know and expect from the original tale but with something new, something unique and something very very dark.
WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ???? i hate it thanks also my favourite part was when she called the princes dick tiny that was great thanks
otherwise, genuinely, very uncomfortable to read idk if thats my sex repulsion talking or if other ppl feel the same. i didnt understand jack shit ion know its not for me.
also im 90 percent sure there was more r.pe than sex- the tiny dick prince with the DEAD GIRL, the queen to the king once or twice.. like wtf was this book ? is there any reason jesus fuck
Yes, the story itself is pretty weird in terms of how adult it is. But I pushed all of that away and marveled at the art style and voice of the queen. The story itself is creative (even though it does have some wild weird things) and so is the art style. Usually, I wouldn't pick up a graphic novel but looking at the pages and the concept, I knew I needed it. Every page was a stunning work of art. Gaiman's retelling is short and is told like a fairytale without it being an entire 300-page book. I enjoyed it and was the perfect book for Halloween!
A twisted-retelling of Snow White in Neil Gaiman style. The artwork is so beautiful! Read if you are a Gaiman fan, the haunting feeling his stories leave you with might not be for everyone.
If you love dark, gothic and bloody retellings this is definitely for you. I don't usually read graphic novels but I really loved this one.
The artfully displayed story as told by the “wicked” Queen is simply amazing. I would definitely recommend spending the 15-20min it takes to devour this one.
If you want to read a creepy retelling of Snow White with gorgeous artwork, then this graphic novel is for you. Neil Gaian never ceases to amaze me after all these years.
I impulse-bought this at the comic book store and have no regrets. The book is gorgeous. The approach to the story was different and compelling. I will definitely be looking for more from the artist, Colleen Doran.
I've read this short story of Neil Gaiman's before (I believe it's in Fragile Things), but this edition with Colleen Doran's illustrations is just gorgeous. Thank you to my parents for this beautiful book.
“Snow White” as You've Never Known Her
When you combine one of the greatest writers/storytellers of our time with one of the most talented illustrators/storytellers of our time, you get this masterpiece of a tale about someone you only thought you knew.
Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran merge their respective talents in a work that is greater than the sum of their parts. I could not put this down on the first reading and then returned again and again to soak in all the beautiful words and art and savor their flavor in my head and heart.
You are denying yourself an exceptional experience if you do not get this book and read it.
