You may think you know this story. There's a young queen, about to be married. There are some good, brave, hardy dwarves; a castle, shrouded in thorns; and a princess, cursed by a witch, so rumor has it, to sleep forever. But no one is waiting for a noble prince to appear on his trusty steed here. This fairy tale is spun with a thread of dark magic, which twists and turns and glints and shines. A queen might just prove herself a hero, if a princess needs rescuing… Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell have twisted together the familiar and the new as well as the beautiful and the wicked, and the result is a captivating and darkly funny tale that will hold readers spellbound from start to finish.

Operating out of a tiny office on Madison Avenue in the early 1960s, Marvel Comics introduced a series of superhero characters with eye-catching bright costumes, smart banter, and compellingly human flaws, weaving a tapestry of stories that would become the most elaborate fictional narrative in history and serve as a modern American mythology for millions of readers. Throughout the decades-long journey to a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, Marvel's identity has continually shifted, careening between scrappy underdog and corporate behemoth. Marvel Comics packs anecdotes and analysis into a gripping narrative of how a small group of people on the cusp of failure created one of the most dominant pop cultural forces in contemporary America.

Perfect for fans of Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet series. After years of pretending to be a human, the changeling Edmund Carter has assumed his rightful role as Cinder, king of the World Below.

That feeling quickly fades when a mysterious new threat emerges in the World Below.
