Fairy Tales Get Fractured in Dark Comedy 'Tales of Mother F. Goose'

 Frank Tieri and Joe Eisma are poised to ruin your childhood


The Three Little Pigs are gluttonous casino owners. Little Miss Muffet is a hard-nosed cop with arachnophobia. The Three Blind Mice are ocularly impaired assassins. Puss-in-Boots is a feline-faced scumbag.

Welcome to TALES OF MOTHER F. GOOSE, where your favorite fairy tales are turned into twisted characters right out of a Tarantino movie. Springing from the delightfully disturbed imaginations of writer Frank Tieri (PESTILENCE, Gotham Underground, Deathstroke/Yogi Bear Special) and artist Joe Eisma (Morning Glories, Existence 2.0/3.0), these hardboiled, darkly humorous “classics” pick up from the team’s work on “LITTLE RED HOOD” (featured in SHOCK) and “ALONG CAME A SPIDER” (featured in AFTERDARK). The 48-page Prestige Format “One-Shock” debuts in December and we will make you a promise: this is the book that will ruin your childhood.

Sorry, kids!

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire.
