Hook

In the early 1990s, Atlantic Förlags AB and Pandora Press released Hook, a two-issue comic series that expands on the world of J.M. Barrie’s classic tale. Most closely associated with writer Charles Vess, the series features artwork by Denis Rodier, John Ridgway, and Ray Lago, weaving a darkly imaginative story that reexamines the legacy of Peter Pan’s arch-nemesis. Though brief, the series stands as a notable, moody reinterpretation from a period when publishers were exploring deeper, more adult takes on familiar children’s literature.
