In "High Noonish," a wicked stepsister turns to her talking computer for fashion advice—only to be told Snow White is more statuesque. Enraged, she sends her chauffeur to eliminate Snow White in the desert, but he can't bring himself to do it. Left alone, Snow White stumbles through the arid landscape until she stumbles upon a cabin inhabited by three giant dwarfs. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, this Free Comic Book Day 2009 tale blends fairy tale mischief with a touch of whimsical danger, all wrapped in Dan Parent’s playful cover art.
