The most famous fairy tale of all—Cinderella—joins the Dark Horse line of classic fairy tales!

In 1697, when Charles Perrault—writing as Mother Goose—first published the story of the little girl with the glass slipper, he could hardly imagine how the story would still be enchanting readers young and old more than three hundred years later.

It’s all here: the wicked stepsisters, the carriage magically transformed from a pumpkin, the grand ball, and so much more. As Cinderella, a young girl struggling to stay happy in the home of her wicked stepmother, sets out on a journey unlike any other, she will meet magical fairy godmothers, kindly mice, and a handsome prince who will literally sweep her off her feet.

Mike Mignola has deservedly become one of the biggest names in comics for his creation of Hellboy. But when Mignola needs a short break from the Hellboy universe, he turns to diversions such as The Amazing Screw-On Head, winner of the Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication!

When Emperor Zombie threatens the safety of all life on earth, President Lincoln enlists the aid of a mechanical head. With the help of associates Mr. Groin (a faithful manservant) and Mr. Dog (a dog), Screw-On Head must brave ancient tombs, a Victorian flying apparatus, and demons from a dimension inside a turnip. This new collection of oddball Mignola creations also includes “The Magician and the Snake” from Dark Horse Maverick: Happy Endings, and nearly fifty pages of brand new material, all as weird and hilarious as the beloved Screw-On Head.
