Of course the reader knows all will turn out well for the heroine. I've mentioned before in my review on Matt's ' Bluffton '-his art is so beautiful. Towards the beginning of the story, Samantha is sent away to boarding school by her well-meaning father and beautiful stepmother, formerly a top Ziegfield girl billed as the “Queen.” With a ticker tape reader feeding messages, a la the magic mirror, to the unhappy and evil stepmother, the plot quickly turns darker as she poisons her older husband and then attempts to have her step-daughter killed after learning she will inherit much of the estate at 18. Set in 1928, in New York City, Phelan creates a story told as if a silent black and white, noir film were transformed into a book. Matt Phelan has made quite a name for himself, creating breathtaking historical fiction graphic novels, and his most recent book, Snow White: A Graphic Novel, holds to his high standard.
