Once upon a time, in a faraway land, lived the Parkers - a noble family renowned for their bravery, honour, and loyalty. In a battle to protect the borders of the Kingdom, both Benjamin and Richard Parker fell in battle, but not before Richard asked Norman Osborn to take care of Peter. Years later Peter has become a skilled fighter, although he was charged mainly with keeping the house clean for Norman and Harry Osborn. Mary Jane is employed by Norman as a maid, and when Norman threatened to fire her if she did not clean his armour properly, Peter steps in and helps her out. Mary Jane tells Peter why the armour must be cleaned - King George is holding a ball to find a suitable knight to marry Princess Gwendolyn. Peter asks Mary Jane to help him sneak into the castle, but she refuses, saying she is in enough trouble already. At the tomb of Benjamin and Richard Parker, Peter decides he will attend the ball to win Gwendolyn's hand in marriage and intends to build his own suit of armour. Taking inspiration from a spider in the tomb, Peter secretly works on a suit of armour, painting it red with web patterns. On the night of the ball, Norman Osborn orders Peter to stay behind to clean the house before he gets back. Mary Jane offers to cover for Peter and tells him to enjoy the night. At the palace, Princess Gwendolyn is unimpressed by the gathered crowd of knights, telling her father true love would not walk through the door. Peter arrives late, with the staff introducing him as "The Prince of Arachne". Peter catches Princess Gwendolyn's eye and when she asks to remove his helmet, Peter replies he would not show any woman his face without first having danced with them. Peter and Gwen talk about each other and a strong bond forms between them. As Gwen offers to marry Peter, she tells him they have been dancing for hours and that the bell signalled midnight. Peter realises he must return home, and as he runs off, Gwen pulls off one of his webbed brassard while begging him not to go. Norman and Harry discuss the 'Spider-Prince', and they decide to find him, kill him, and have Harry assume his identity. While cleaning Peter's room, Mary Jane pulls the sheets off his bed and discovers his armour. She tells Peter to explain this to Princess Gwendolyn, but Peter insists they dispose of the armour. Harry interrupts and takes the other brassard at knife point. Mary Jane tells Peter to take a horse and arrive there to explain himself. When Norman and Harry arrive they find out Peter has been chosen as Prince, and that King George did not intend to deny Gwen's choice of husband. Furious, Norman attacks and is stopped by Peter. Norman cuts the rope holding up the chandelier directly over Peter's head. Gwen pushes him out of the way, but in turn is hit by the chandelier and killed. Peter strikes Norman down, and as Harry is taken away, he swears vengeance on Peter. After a long period of mourning, Peter is accepted by the people as their Prince and he is knighted. Although the Parker name is once again well known, nothing could fill the hole left by Gwendolyn's death. However the love of Gwendolyn was not the only thing Peter lost that day: Mary Jane is seen lying in bed weeping for Peter's return. Marvel Fairy Tales by C.B. Cebulski.

Summary (from goodreads): My Thoughts: This is my very first I have ever read. I had to read a graphic novel for a class I'm taking. The reason I chose this one was that my library owned a copy and I wanted to do something with fairy tales. I found this one. I do think I would enjoy this novel more if I was familar with the Marvel characters, but I will explain more of that below. I kind of see this novel as a collection of short stories since each fairy tale is about 23-25 pages long. Sometimes I think that is too short, but in other stories I was okay with the length. I will put my personal feelings about each fairy tale below. Peter Pan is the first short story in this graphic novel and as you all know I have been in a Peter Pan mood lately since reading the classic novel so I was glad to see the story in there. The graphic novel was able to give a good gist of the Peter Pan story in a period of 25 pages, but it didn't really give you a lot of time to follow in love with the characters. On the first page Peter Pan flies in and they fly off to Neverland and before you know it you are at the end of the story. I like that it covered the story, but it didn't really add its own twist that much besides changing a few minor details. I think they needed a bit more time to put a little bit deeper plot development into the story. Pinocchio was the second story with this one I liked that they altered the story. They changed the dad's name and Pinocchio was a robot named Vision. That is similar to Peter Pan because they changed the names in that story too, but besides that they didn't change much in Peter Pan. I feel like Pinocchio could stand on its own a little bit better than Peter Pan although not fully. Vision (Pinocchio) talked a lot about being bullied because he was different and that is something I completely identify with. I don't feel like Vision's (Pinocchio) actions were justified just because he was bullied. The old saying goes two wrongs don't make a right. Vision's (Pinocchio) conscience in this book was not a cricket, but a fairy and the fairy turns out to be a very surprising person in Vision's (Pinocchio) life. In the end Vision (Pinocchio) makes a selfless decision and that was the biggest change from the original fairy tale or Disney movie as I know Pinocchio. Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is the third story in this graphic novel and so far it is my favorite of the bunch, but don't take that compliment too highly because this story is full of flaws. Alice like Pinocchio talks about how she is bullied and that is how she falls into wonderland where she meets all the characters we have grown to love. In this retelling Cassie (Alice) is a very angry character and I didn't like her in that light. I loved the Cheshire cat pictures and I loved that character. I laughed that the Caterpillar was blue and red because he was supposed to be spider man. The mad hatter and his gang and the king and queen were all still mad, but I don't believe their characters were well executed. It annoyed me so that the dormouse repeated the same phrases over and over again. In the end Cassie (Alice) made an admirable decision and I respect that. My only complaint about the ending is that is was almost too perfect. Most orginal fairy tale endings don't end in happily ever after. Although I really enjoyed the Alice in Wonderland story like Peter Pan I believe it needed more pages to be better developed because at the end of the day most of the characters fell flat because we didn't have the time to know them. Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz was the fourth story in this graphic novel and my least favorite of the novel. I have to admit Wizard of Oz is not a story that I know well and I have never seen the movie so I don't believe I was the right person to judge this story. I'm not a fan of the Wizard of Oz story to begin with. The girls name was Jennifer (Dorthy) and she set off to see Oz so she could go home. In this retelling Jennifer's (Dorthy) shoes were green instead of red although I have seen the actual shoes and they are actually a dark red, but they changed the color on the screen. Besides that the Witch was weird in this story and did not die in the same way as the movie. The lion, scarecrow, and tin man I don't think were done justice. Again I have a hard time giving an accurate account of this story because I have never seen the movie. I just know little bits and pieces The ending as far as to my knowledge was kept the same. Note on the picture: The shoes in the right corner are the actual shoes from the movie. I took that picture at the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C. Little Red Riding Hood Little Red Riding Hood probably had the most of the Marvel characters and I also think the Little Red Riding. Hood had one of the better stories developments of the book. At first I wondered how they were going to incorporate Little Red Riding Hood in then she goes off to see Peter's aunt May and I understood. My only complaint about this story was how fast it was over. Once she set off on the path it seemed like the story was over in no time and I just wished it lasted longer and had a bit more story development. The Friendship of the Tortoise and the Eagle This was my least favorite story of this graphic novel. I really hated how the tortoise and the eagle were just. instantly friends. I wish there was a bit more leading up than that. Everything seemed to happen so fast and the story was over. There was really no sanctification after reading this story because it didn't feel like there was a story. Final Thoughts Overall I have to admit I enjoyed my first graphic novel. Do I believe there a better graphic novels out there? Yes I do believe I did not find the best Graphic Novel. If you have any recommendations I would be willing to read them. Avengers Fairy Tales Vol 1 1. Wanda and Pietro are in their room sleeping when a shadow flies into their room. It is being pursued by its owner the Captain and his friend Wasp. In the chase Wasp accidently wakes up the siblings. The Captain introduces himself and volunteers to take them from where he is from, where Time stands still and where there are pirates and Indians. Though Wanda is initially reluctant, she and Pietro agrees to go with him. Using the Wasp's pixie dust, they fly off to Neverland. When they arrived, the Captain spots the pirate ship of his nemesis, Klaw, and tells the siblings about their story. Unknown to him, Klaw had made a sonic boom cannon in his absence, and while the children were up in the clouds, fired it upon them. The children were sent hurtling away from each other, and Wanda was falling straight down. The Lost Boys noticed her, and mistakenly thinking she was a bird, Hawk fired upon her. The Captain attempted to save her, but Wanda used her magic to divert the arrow away. The Lost Boys adoringly greet her, then gather round with the Captain in order to plan their next search for Pietro. Unfortunately, by this time Pietro had been already captured by Klaw's pirates. The children unwittingly come into a trap set by Klaw, which triggers the sonic cannon that knocks them out. The Captain is knocked out as well, losing his shadow in the process which is then locked up along the captured Wasp. The children wake up tied to the mast of Jolly Roger surrounded by cannons. Klaw introduces himself to Wanda and begins to taunt the Captain. The Wasp escapes her jar and flies up to Wanda to whisper something to her. Wanda then uses her magic to free herself and Lost Boys. A short fight ensues, and Klaw attempts to escape. The Captain and Wanda pursue and fight him. Disoriented by the sonic cannon he uses, Klaw does not hear the tick-tock sound of his dreaded enemy the Crocodile, who had arrived for the rest of him. The Crocodile smashes the ship up in the process of eating him. The Wasp gives everyone pixie dust in order to escape, but the Captain remains behind to try and rescue his shadow who became stuck in the ice. He tells Wanda to take the Lost Boys with her back, and that one day he'll find her when the time was right. The event is then revealed to be a story told by the Scarlet Witch to some children in a orphanage. When asked about the ending, she tells them that is up to their imagination, and it's not about the ending, but the meaning.
