Hasib & the Queen of Serpents: A Thousand and One Nights Tale by David B.
4.0
In this story we meet Hasib who has just been betrayed by his co workers, he is trapped in a cave and perchance meets a scorpion that leads him to the serpent queen.
The adventure begins
Although this book is a folktale,from the first page i was sure this book was not intended for a younger audience its a bit graphic.
The story is interesting, right from the first page the story grips you. If you are familiar with the one thousand and one nights you would know that this tale is narrated by Scheherazade ( your girl doesn't want to get offed). It's a tale within a tale within a tale, in that order until you get to the end when all the characters you thought were gone jump back to life ( i mean if i had nine- lives i would do that too).
Now the art style is absolutely gorgeous ( i found my self thinking this defies logic and the laws of anything on earth, but hey that's why its fantasy), a perfect fit for the story.
If you love Arabian Nights i suggest you pick up this comic, you will enjoy it.
