Alice in Murderland #1

Kaori Yuki's dark reimagining of a beloved fairy-tale world announces itself boldly right from this striking volume-one cover, where a golden-haired Alice in a torn blue dress grips two pistols against a vivid red backdrop — anything but the wide-eyed innocent of the original story. The playing-card suit motifs woven into the title design reinforce that Wonderland's rules still apply here, just with considerably more danger attached. A compelling opener for readers who like their fantasy with sharp edges.
