Bluebeard: A Feminist Fairy Tale

In Bluebeard: A Feminist Fairy Tale (2020–present, NBM), writer and artist Métine reimagines the classic cautionary tale through a modern, critical lens, centering the story on the wife's agency and survival. This single-issue comic strips away the original's moralizing to explore themes of control, curiosity, and the true cost of patriarchal secrets. Métine's stark, expressive artwork and unflinching narrative make this a concise but powerful entry in the tradition of feminist fairy-tale retellings.
