This was a super fun graphic novel that showed a variety of traditional European stories in a short comic format. Since it was strictly European there was a good amount I had never heard of, so it was super fun for me to read those. These comics are all so fun and gorgeously drawn. I think it's a fun read for people of all ages.

A very engaging collection of different European fairy tales - some familiar ones and some interesting lesser known ones. This means there's a nice variety of art styles, too.

Thank you to Edelweiss+ and Iron Circus Comics for the opportunity to read The Nixie of the Mill-Pond and Other European Stories.
An interesting collection of some familiar and some new fairy tales retold by various artists. Some of the art I liked while other styles weren't really for me, though I thought all of the artists had unique takes for their story. I think out of all the stories, I enjoyed Bisclavret, Kid Brother, and Jack in the Beanstalk most of all. The other stories were interesting as well, but these three stuck with me the most.

I’m a bit surprised to find this labeled as middle grade. It’s very dark and subversive and it might be too old for middle graders. As an adult, I’m very much enjoying this but it reminds me of those dark cartoons from the 90s. All the artwork is black and white, I’m not sure if the finished copy will have colour but I hope not because the black and white works extremely well for these stories. Like any compilation, not very story is a hit but overall, it’s a good anthology of creepy fairy tales. I learned a few I wasn’t aware of before.
