Description

Legends is set in a fictional world settled by creatures known as the Enchanted. The world of the Enchanted has much violence spurned on by different technologies, nature, and dark magic. The characters in the Enchanted world come from traditional folklore and literature, and include Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, and Red Hood. These traditional characters have grown up and changed into “outlaws, vigilantes, [and] bounty hunters.” In addition, the characters have become protected by a charm that renders them almost immortal. An exception to this charm is shown when Pinocchio is found violently murdered.

Legends: The Enchanted won the HorrorNews Net award for Best Original Graphic Novel 2010.
