![]() ![]() Volume One of the trade collects the first four issues of Beddor's comic book expansion, created in collaboration with writer Liz Cavalier (who I suspect did the bulk of the actual scripting) and artist Ben Templesmith. Using a portal called the pool of tears (puddles of water that appear where none should be), our title hero travels through space - first briefly popping up in 1859 Paris, then Budapest, where most of volume one's action is set - diligently seeking the missing Alyss. The once loony Mad Hatter is now a hard-nosed royal bodyguard with a variety of blades at his disposal his top hat is itself a weapon, though how it specifically works is not clearly explicated in the first volume of the GN series. In Beddor's world, young Alyss Heart is the princess of Wonderland, forced to flee to our realm when the evil Red Queen attempts a violent takeover. ![]() The first of a series of graphic novels expanding on Frank Beddor's as-yet-unfinished young adult fantasy trilogy, The Looking Glass Wars, Hatter M (Automatic Pictures Publishing) continues the writer's violent re-imagining of Lewis Carroll's beloved Wonderland books. ![]()
