Cover: Chiara Bracale
As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale #1
The cover's central question — "What if Belle's mother cursed the Beast?" — sets a tantalizing new angle on a beloved fairy tale, with Belle clutching a single red rose in the foreground while a brooding, imposing Beast looms behind her amid swirling thorned vines. Chiara Bracale's artwork brings both characters to life with a manga-inflected elegance, the deep crimson and black palette giving the whole image a gothic, fairy-tale atmosphere that feels fresh for 2025. This Panini UK release is a genuinely inviting entry point for fans curious to see the classic story reimagined from a wholly unexpected direction.
