Books of Magic: from the Reckonings TPB
Molly has been kidnapped by the retarded pink dinosaurs and is now trapped in Hell, forced to listen to the Governess because the Governess is torturing Crimple. Molly is told to read from a book. (8 scans, issue longer than 22 pages; writer John Ney Rieber and illustrator Peter Snejbjerg.)








But the queen's sister was mad she didn't receive an invitation, and decided to give Violetta a fourth gift — whenever Violetta stamped her foot and wished, it would come true.












Tim also had to read a story. His was shorter. I'll get to Gotham Central later.

The point is that it's a horribly twisted fairy tale. Molly is being forced to read it by a horrible demoness of hell, least the lady chop off bits of her fairy friend. We're *supposed* to be horrified and disturbed by the implications of the story.

I have to say I also enjoy the little dig at traditional fairy tales as well - while there are many that praise the intelligence and resourcefulness of girls, there are also just as many that praise them for being pretty, quiet lumps.
