Fairest #24

Vertigo's Fairest #24 brings writer Marc Andreyko and artist Shawn McManus to the fourth chapter of "Of Men and Mice." Adam Hughes's cover is a vivid pink confection featuring a multi-armed woman seated in a meditative pose, adorned with jewels, chains, and a bejeweled crown — her many hands holding an assortment of high-heeled shoes in various shades of purple and pink. It's a witty, glamorous image that perfectly captures the series' playful blend of fairy-tale femininity and something a little stranger lurking just beneath the surface.
