Delphine (2006-2009 Fantagraphics) comic books 2005-2007

Story and art by Richard Sala. A mysterious traveler gets off the train in a small village surrounded by a thick, sinister forest. He is searching for Delphine, who vanished leaving only a scrawled-out address on a scrap of paper as a trace. In his newest mystery, Richard Sala takes the tale of Snow White and stands it on its head, retelling it from Prince Charming's perspective (the unnamed traveler). 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. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $7.95.

Story and art by Richard Sala. In the second installment of Richard Sala's dark and suspenseful mini-series, the mysterious traveler finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into nightmare territory. The locals seem determined to undermine his every move and he soon finds himself stranded and alone in the ancient forest - and night is falling! This twisted re-imagining of Snow White, told from the viewpoint of the "prince" and set in modern times, continues with more of Sala's eerily beautiful painted artwork and a startling plot that veers as far away from the countless saccharine versions of Grimm's folk tale as possible. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $7.95.
