The next wave in BOOM! Studios Jim Henson’s The Storyteller anthology comic arrives in stores today. Get a sneak peek before you pick it up.
The premier issue of the new four-issue comic book series is written by Andre R. Frattino, artist Nori Retherford, colorist Kieran Quigley, and letterer Jim Campbell, who spin a fresh new tale about the ancient Celtic myth of the swan Children of Lir.
Dain, a nefarious, power-hungry magic user and Lir’s brother-in-law, plots to steal the throne from Lir and his family by turning Lir’s children into swans and ascending the throne himself. Fionna, the oldest, wants only to gain revenge against Dain, in order to continue her quest to help her father secure his fierce and fearsome legacy as a renowned warrior. While Fionna attempts to find a way to break their curse, the swan-children are forced to wander near and far for nearly a thousand years. They endure much hardship and sorrow, but face the curse together…finding solace and strength in one another.
