Castle Waiting

With its quiet blend of fantasy folktales and character-driven storytelling this charming collection brings the first 12 issues of an Eisner Award-winning comic-book series to a wider audience… Medleys storytelling… uses flashbacks and stories-within-stories in a manner that creates a rhythm that is both fun and gripping. Hard-edged lines with simple forms create black-and-white artwork that melds nicely with the fairy-tale feel of the stories. This volume is accessible for younger readers but filled with enough layers and depth to satisfy those looking for a bit more sophistication.
