There are 9 stories in this collection, each by a different creator or creators representing different countries. There are stories I was familiar with like Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel and ones I was less familiar with like Kid Brother and Bisclavret. Some of the stories have twists on the endings.
I have enjoyed this series quite a bit. Seeing stories from different regions and different artists takes on them. The art is all black and white and the art is consistently enjoyable. The book ends with creator bios for those wanting to learn more about the featured artists.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Iron Circus Comics in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
