Little Lit: Folklore & Fairy Tale Funnies

Edited by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, Little Lit: Folklore & Fairy Tale Funnies (2000, HarperCollins) is a single-issue anthology that reimagines classic fairy tales and folklore through a comic-book lens. Featuring contributions from a range of notable cartoonists, the volume includes a standout story written and illustrated by David Mazzucchelli, whose inventive visual storytelling helps anchor this eclectic collection. As part of the Little Lit series, it demonstrates how the graphic narrative form can breathe new life into timeless stories, making it a charming artifact of early-2000s comics publishing.
