Disney's Beauty and the Beast #12

Issue twelve of Marvel's Disney's Beauty and the Beast finds Belle in the magnificent castle library, her expression full of wonder as Lumiere and Mrs. Potts appear beside her — while a mischievous-looking figure looms from the balconies above, surrounded by scurrying figures in the stacked shelves. The cover sets a playful, slightly suspenseful tone that fits perfectly with the story title "Belle, Book and Castle Part 2: Bound to Surprise." With a creative team including writer Barbara Slate and artist Cosme Quartieri bringing the Disney characters to life, this 1995 Marvel series continues to offer a charming companion to the beloved animated world.
