Once upon a Time: Shadow of the Queen

In 2013, Marvel published a single-issue comic tying into the Once Upon a Time television series, written by Corinna Bechko and Daniel T. Thomsen with art by Michael Del Mundo. Shadow of the Queen follows the Evil Queen as she seeks out a magical artifact to solidify her power, offering a standalone story that expands the show’s fairy-tale mythology. Though brief, the issue stands out for Del Mundo’s lush, painted visuals, which give the familiar characters a dreamlike quality.
