YA
After poisoning her wealthy husband, Samantha "Snow" White's stepmother decides Samantha is next; fleeing, Samantha is rescued by seven street boys in a New York City Hooverville shantytown. Pencil, ink, and watercolor images (in mostly sepia tones) provide a cinematic noir sensibility, enhanced by the feel of movement, varied panel sizes, and judicious use of text. An original, darkly beautiful take.
