Piper

Grimm Fairy Tales: Piper by Mike Kalvoda, 168 pages

This is a one shot that is sort of tied in with the Grimm Fairy Tales series put out by Zenescope. The first part tells the original tale of the Piped Piper but adds a more gruesome ending. The second part brings a vengeful Piped Piper into modern times where he uses his power to exact vengeance for whoever summons him. But even the summoner must pay the piper.

I enjoyed this book and enjoyed to imagery provided, namely the depiction of the Piper. It brought an air of horror to what I would originally have called a boring children’s fable. This graphic novel is pretty graphic but I think teenagers and up are its intended audience.
