Beauty and the Beast: Night of Beauty

In this one-shot from 1990, Wendy Pini—best known for her Elfquest saga—penned and illustrated a standalone tale for First Comics that reimagines the classic fairy tale with a dark, romantic twist. Following a cursed prince and the woman who sees past his monstrous exterior, the story emphasizes themes of inner beauty and sacrifice. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, creator-driven interpretation of the beloved myth.
