Yeah, that's totally what happened with this book, for me. Someone in the Rooglewood Fairy Tale Contest Facebook Group mentioned this graphic novel that turned the Snow White story into a noir story set in the 1930s, and I was like, "I MUST READ THIS." And the library had it! So I got it. And I read it. And now I've read it three times, and I want my own copy. Because wow, it is just brilliant.
I was going to scan in some of my favorite panels, but then I found the official book trailer on YouTube, and it has so many of the good ones that I'm just sharing that here instead.
See? It's no wonder I fell in love with this book.
If This was Actually a Movie Instead of Me Just Wishing It was, I Would Rate It: PG for some images that would probably scare young children, like the stepmother as an old hag and the guy chasing Snow with a knife.
How cool is that? That happens rarely, but when it does, it's a special thing. What a neat book with cool drawings!
ReplyDeleteDKoren, I know! So very awesome. When you come over, you can check out my copy. It takes like 20 minutes to read the whole thing.
Delete"If This was Actually a Movie Instead of Me Just Wishing It was..." That is really funny! ;)

MC, hee. Yeah, I thought so too :-) I hope you can find it! Such a cool book.
