GRIMM TALES FROM THE CAVE
See What Critics Are Saying!
“The variety of artistic styles collected constantly keeps the reader interested. The more traditional linework of stories such as Pay the Piper and Mother’s Thorn are executed well and pace the story nicely. Unique styles such as the political cartoon aesthetic of Hello, my Name is… and the web browser-inspired New Nightmares Sold Cheap give a superb collage of the possibilities of comics art.”
“Although every story is based on a Grimm’s fairy tale, each one has its own unique voice. Whether it be the military setting of Soldiers of Fortune, the sci-fi-inspired Billie and her friend Death, or the fantasy elements of Weft, the writers do an excellent job of distinguishing each story.”
