Grimm #9

Zwerchfell Verlag's Grimm #9 brings Eckart Breitschuh's dark, painted-style cover art to the fore, depicting a pale, statuesque blue-grey figure standing dominantly over a crouching, wide-eyed grotesque character — the shadowy silhouette of a haunted house looming behind them against a murky twilight sky. Scattered bones and handcuffs add an unsettling edge to the scene, perfectly in keeping with this German series' grim, adult reimagining of fairy-tale material. With Breitschuh handling every creative role — writing, pencils, inks, and colors — issue #9's story "Aschenputtel" promises a singular, uncompromising vision from one dedicated storyteller.
