The Seven Dwarves became seven street boys, maybe orphans, maybe runaways. Who is the King? The King of Wall Street. If this story is set in this time, then how does that change it? Who is the Queen? The Queen of the Ziegfeld Follies. Inspired by a random connection my brain made between the apple peddlers of the Depression and the poisoned apple, the germ of the idea started almost as a game. Does the world need yet another version of this famous tale? Why take this on? Why Snow White? This is the question that I needed to ask myself when I started work on my fourth graphic novel. The result is an atmospheric tale that will be perfect for fans of historical fiction, fairy tale adaptations, and, of course, graphic novels.īut why another version of the Snow White story? Matt Phelan shares his inspiration for the book in this guest post. Matt Phelan’s newest book, Snow White: A Graphic Novel, takes an old story and re-imagines it with an early twentieth century back drop.
