Issue Description

Long before Sela became the guardian of her fairy tale book there was another who possessed it. Just as Sela has had to battle the forces of evil so did her predecessor. Her greatest enemy was the witch Baba Yaga and the story of their final battle is told here for the first time. Don't miss this issue as more history of the Grimm Fairy Tales Universe is revealed in a tale that tells how Sela was chosen to fulfill her destiny. 

The evil witch Baba Yaga lived in a house in a forest where she lay in wait and laid traps for humans, so that she could eat them.  Her favourite prey were children, but with none often available she ate instead the heroes and champions who sought to slay her.  She would then take their bones and create a fence from them.  She would later decide that she had only one champion left to vanquish, Alexxa.  She is hunted down by the Black, White and Red Knights of Baba Yaga, but fights back with the aid of characters from her book.  Baba Yaga counter attacks and Alexxa only has time to return to her house and tell Shang that Baba Yaga is back.  He informs her to pass the book on the next bearer, who is Sela.  The action cuts back to modern day where Belinda is picked up from the airport on her way home from Australia by Baba Yaga, who informs her that they have a common enemy.

Volume Description

A series which aims to tell updated fairy tale stories, often with an added touch of horror to them. They are generally told as something of a parable to the modern conditions of rotating character. The stories are usually narrated by either Belinda or Sela. The two control two books of fairy tales and they are generally used to either help or hinder those listening to them. Over the course of the series the fairy tales get used in different ways, for instance the two narrators can control the characters in magical worlds, modern characters outside of the fairy tales become fairy tale characters, or the two narrators live through the fairy tales themselves to examine their actions. The series is also notable for its generally misleading covers, as they often contain revealing pictures of the female characters, the characters in the stories themselves are generally portrayed in a more respectable manner. The series is also noted for some of its variant covers which are not fairy tales representations, but mythical or legendary ones such as Cleopatra or Rosie the Riveter.
