Snow White: A Graphic Novel - Matt Phelan

Descriere Snow White: A Graphic Novel - Matt Phelan

An award-winning graphic novelist delivers a darkly stylized noir interpretation of the classic fairy tale set against the backdrop of Depression-era Manhattan. \nPhelan's noir-esque adaptation of the classic fairy tale is atmospheric, clever, and touching. . . . A stunning, genre-bending graphic novel. -- School Library Journal (starred review) \nThe curtain rises on New York City. The dazzling lights cast shadows that grow ever darker as the glitzy prosperity of the Roaring Twenties screeches to a halt. Enter a cast of familiar characters: a young girl, Samantha White, returning after being sent away by her cruel stepmother, the Queen of the Follies, years earlier; her father, the King of Wall Street, who survives the stock market crash only to suffer a strange and sudden death; seven street urchins, brave protectors for a girl as pure as snow; and a mysterious stock ticker that holds the stepmother in its thrall, churning out ticker tape imprinted with the wicked words: Another . . . More Beautiful . . . KILL.\n
