About the series
A short-lived but visually striking two-issue series from Oktomica, The Wonderlanders (1999–present) reimagines classic fairy-tale characters in a darker, more modern context. Written primarily by Casey Lau, Mary Bierbaum, and Tom Bierbaum, with Kaare Kyle Andrews providing the art, the series is notable for its bold, painterly style and its attempt to inject a sense of grit and psychological depth into familiar fantasy archetypes. Though its run was brief, The Wonderlanders stands as a curious artifact of late-90s alternative comics, offering a distinct take on the "reimagined fairy tale" genre.
