Book Overview
Award-winning graphic novelist Matt Phelan delivers a darkly stylized noir Snow White set against the backdrop of Depression-era Manhattan. The scene: 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." In a moody, cinematic new telling of a beloved fairy tale, extraordinary graphic novelist Matt Phelan captures the essence of classic film noir on the page--and draws a striking distinction between good and evil.

So good...
Published by Brian Burgess , 5 years ago
I found another of phelans books recently (around the world) and was riveted; truly transcendent material. So much bigger than young adult. His story holds up for all readers and ive read enough to know. In snow white he has taken a hackneyed story and reinvigorated it n a way that is nothing less than stunning. Replacing the first she runs away 2 with an urban jungle was great and effective. The artwork is superb; a noir feel and bkack n gray at its very finest. I will be searching for more of his work. We're lucky 2 have him☺
