A Stepmother’s Märchen #4

Volume IV of *A Stepmother's Märchen* arrives with a cover that radiates warmth and momentum — a red-haired young man dashes forward with two beaming blonde children in tow, their joyful expressions set against a swirl of blue florals, glowing archways, and what appears to be distant flames on the horizon. Orka's illustrations bring a storybook elegance to every detail, from the girl's frilly blue dress to the ornate black-and-silver framing that gives the whole package a fairy-tale tome quality. Story by Spice&Kitty, this 2024 release from Seven Seas Entertainment looks like a thoroughly satisfying continuation of a series that wears its heart proudly on its sleeve.
