Beauty and the Beast

From 1993 to 1994, Innovation Comics presented a six-issue adaptation of the beloved fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, with scripts by David Campiti, Cynthy J. Wood, and Karen May, and lush artwork by a young Mike Deodato Jr. This series stands out for its faithful yet slightly darker tone, offering a more mature take on the romance between Belle and the Beast while showcasing Deodato's early, detailed style before his rise to mainstream prominence. A charming artifact of the 1990s licensed-comics boom, it remains a fondly remembered entry for fans of the story and the artist's early work.
