Description:
Winner of the 2020 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic. The story goes like this: There was once a girl named Dawa.
Having lost her family to sickness, she found herself with an emptiness inside that she did not know how to fill. Alas, in all her endeavours, nothing she tried ever left her feeling so full as the art-- --the art of trickery. Originally published by ShortBox, this critically acclaimed reimagining of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is back in print with Silver Sprocket as a deluxe hardcover edition including bonus material and an afterword from the author.
