Grimm Fairy Tales (Frog, Pig, Imp, and Werewolf Transformations)

Thanks again to Dinonator for this recommendation. These are from volume one, which started in 2005. The first issue retells "Red Riding Hood":

Issue 4 retells Rumplestiltskin:

"The Princess and the Frog" is retold in issue 10:

"The Three Little Pigs" is adapted for issue 15. This time the "pigs" are three racist thugs who are transformed into pigs by a lady visitor, who whisks them into a fantasy-land where they're eaten by the Big Bad Wolf. I've included the first page just to show what the pigs looked like pre-transformation, so don't worry about all the dialogue in it. 





The following three pages show what each pig looks like in close-up:

Lastly, issue 20 adapts "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," but with a twist. A wild boy is stealing sheep...




The shepherd informs the townfolk, who kill the wild boy...just as the shepherd wanted...
