"Steampunk Snow White" by Rod Espinosa is a gorgeously illustrated re-made story of the classic fairy tale. Appropriate for all ages, the plot thickens when a mysterious stranger acts as a Robin Hood type character, and finds himself ambushed when trying to relieve the greedy Queen's army of their taxed treasure. A fair maiden comes to the rescue.
My favourite take on this story was the writer's interpretation of the seven dwarfs. Definitely not your typical Disney set. I also was awed by the Queen's steampunk militia, and the overall fashion sense of the characters.
A delightful short read for everyone. I only wish it was longer.

Really interesting take on the fairytale. The artwork was stunning, the steampunk elements were a great balance between the original story and giving it a new twist. The story was well paced. The only draw-backs were the weird animal "dwarfs" and the ending felt a bit rushed.

This graphic novel is one of three fairy tales that Mr. Espinosa redid as a steampunk story. The artwork is fantastic, due in part to the steampunk spin. The dwarfs are replaced by 7 badger/skunk like animals. The princess is nobody to mess with, and the prince also goes by the name, The Lone Fox. This steampunk homage to Snow White is well worth reading.
