This was... weird. Definitely not geared for my sense of humor I think.

The White Snake is a re-telling of a classic Grim Brothers tale. It follows Randall, a servant boy, who is tasked to discover the King of Borisylvania's secret by a rival ruler. Randall sets out across the land and seeks employment in the royal house, where he discovers that each night the King eats a white snake. Tempted by the dish, Randall eats the snake and suddenly finds himself able to talk to animals. As he travels back to his home, Randall helps various animals and in the end, these good deeds help him win the favor of Princess Tilda and the King's approval.
This is a short graphic novel perfect for a younger audience. I would recommend it to anyone, who loves fairytales, fables, or mythology as it has a straightforward storyline with an obvious moral. Overall, I really liked the artwork and enjoyed the changes Nadler made to the story to make it more diverse and progression, especially concerning the female characters. I also really liked that the graphic included a discussion of the original changes and its origin.
