Grimm Fairy Tales #63

In "Part Nine" of Grimm Fairy Tales, Belinda’s desperate attempt to bring Sela back to Earth hits a wall when Sela refuses to believe her—after all, Belinda has lied too many times. When a sudden attack by Maga eels drags them both beneath the waves, they find themselves trapped in an underwater cove ruled by Esmeralda, the Sea Witch. With Esmeralda holding the upper hand, Belinda pretends to bargain—only to steal the witch’s magical ring, a key that opens doors to any of the four realms. But just as she prepares to escape, a mysterious young girl appears, shifting the balance in ways no one could have predicted. Written by Raven Gregory, Joe Brusha, and Ralph Tedesco, with art by Randy Valiente and colors by Jorge Maese, this issue’s cover by Eric Basaldua captures the eerie beauty of the deep.
