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.“ Author Biography Matt Phelan is the author-illustrator of three previous graphic novels: the Scott O Dell Award winning "The Storm in the Barn, Around the World, " and "Bluffton, " which was nominated for three Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, including Best Graphic Album.
