Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In his newest chiller, Richard Sala takes the tale of Snow White and stands it on its head, retelling it from Prince Charming's perspective (the unnamed traveller) in a contemporary setting. This twisted tale includes all the elements of terror from the original fairy tale, with none of the coating of the Disney animated adaptation. Originally serialised as part of the acclaimed international Ignatz series, Delphine is executed in a rich and ominous duotone that shows off Sala's virtuosity just as much as last year's full-colour post apocalyptic horror fantasy The Hidden.
"Originally appeared as four serialized comics magazines in the "Ignatz" series from Coconino Press"--Colphon.
A mysterious traveler gets off the train in a small village surrounded by a thick, sinister forest. He is searching for Delphine, who vanished with only a scrawled-out address on a scrap of paper as a trace. In his newest chiller, Richard Sala takes the tale of Snow White and stands it on its head, retelling it from Prince Charming's perspective (the unnamed traveler) in a contemporary setting. This twisted tale includes all the elements of terror from the original fairy tale, with none of the insipid saccharine coating of the Disney animated adaptation. Yes, there will be blood.
