Sleeping Beauty, Magic Master: A Graphic Novel

(4) 4-6 Far Out Fairy Tales series. Illustrated by Alex Lopez. Each brief, accessible comic retells a fairy tale with a sci-fi/fantasy twist: Jak and her robot friend Cow ride an elevator into space, zombies Hansel and Gretel try to eat the witch's brains, etc. The unremarkable revamps and panel illustrations are improved by thorough back matter, which notes changes to the source material and poses "visual questions" to help readers navigate graphic narratives. Glos. Review covers the following Far Out Fairy Tales titles: Jak and the Magic Nano-Beans, Hansel & Gretel & Zombies, Sleeping Beauty, Magic Master, and Goldilocks and the Three Vampires.
