Grimm Fairy Tales #28

In "The Ugly Duckling," a 2008 tale from Grimm Fairy Tales, Robin Summers—once transformed by a mysterious potion into a swan-like beauty—returns to her high school reunion a decade later, only to find her past and present colliding in unexpected ways. Reunited with Ted, her former quiet friend now changed in his own right, the evening takes a sharp turn when he invites her home, hinting at long-buried feelings and a reckoning long overdue. Written by Michael Dolce and illustrated by Jeff Zornow, with colors by Garry Henderson and Kieran Oats, the issue’s cover by Romano Molenaar, Ryan Stegman, and William Tucci captures the eerie elegance of this twisted fairy tale.
