Illustrated by
Sonny Liew.
This Alice in Wonderland-inspired graphic novel focuses on Alice look-alike Mary Ann, the White Rabbit's housemaid referenced in Carroll's story. Mary Ann falls down a treacle well and encounters the Queen of Spades, who foments rebellion. Kovac and Liew have great fun with frenetic, nonsense-heavy text and illustrations. Hardcore Alice fans may appreciate the story's many referents, but others will be mystified.
