Beauty

A single-issue graphic novel from NBM, Beauty is a darkly satirical fable by writer Hubert and the artist team Kerascoët, reimagining the classic fairy tale with a sharp, modern edge. In this world, a young woman's extraordinary beauty becomes a literal curse, setting off a chain of tragic and violent events that expose the ugly truths beneath society's surface. First published in 2014, the book stands as a haunting, beautifully illustrated meditation on the perils of objectification and the price of being seen.
