About the series
A one-issue debut from IDW in 2008, Lore Premiere Edition launched a series that explores the hidden, often supernatural history behind folklore and fairy tales. This premiere issue, the only one published to date, sets the stage by examining the dark and violent origins of classic stories, stripping away their sanitized versions to reveal the truths that inspired them. The series is notable for its focus on historical and mythological research, presented in a graphic format that blends education with horror. Though it began with a single issue, its premise of deconstructing beloved tales from a macabre perspective has left a lasting impression on readers interested in the darker side of storytelling.
