While some retellings of “ Little Red Riding Hood ” bring the fairy narrative back to its sexual roots , Maya Kern’sReddentakes a different mainsheet , sending the little girl on a dangerous errand to bring food for thought to Grandmother , the most fearsome beast in the woods .
Redden is a short webcomic , a ego - contained while of fairy tale horror that absolutely exemplifies why comics are a particularly great medium for certain stories . Kern include many of the well - worn symbols of the tale : the young girl bringing a basket into the woods , the Friedrich August Wolf , the axe , and grandmother ’s house . But nothing is quite how you ’ll remember it from Charles Perrault or the Brothers Grimm . The savage is ghostly and enigmatic , while the grandma is terrifying . And the young girl must find her own power in this strange world if she is to survive her trial . While Kern ’s artwork might seem at first cutesy , it is quickly juxtaposed against the bizarre nature of the beings who lurk outside Red ’s well-heeled home .
If you ’re looking for something light , Kern also makes the howling ongoing webcomicMonster Pop!about a sweet-smelling water flea girl and her life in a city and school where humans and devil live on ( not always amicably ) side - by - side .
