About this title

Synopsis

When the repulsively ugly Coddie unintentionally saves a fairy from a spell, she does not understand the poisonous nature of the wish granted her by the fairy. The village folk no longer see her as repulsive and stinking of fish - they now perceive her as magnetically beautiful - which does not help her in her village. A young local lord saves her, but it soon becomes apparent that Coddie's destiny may be far greater than anyone ever imagined. Caustic and flamboyant, this fairy tale offers grownups an engrossing take on the nature and corrupting power of beauty, in our age of obsession with it.

About the Author

Hubert was born in 1971 in Saint Renan and studied graphic arts in Angers where he was led into the wondrous world of comics. He started at first making a reputation for himself as a colorist but soon turned to scriptwriting where he established himself as a leading voice in graphic novels for an adult audience. Hubert thus spoke of anorexia, gender, or even homosexuality in tales and stories that have become as essential as Miss Don't Touch Me or Beauty (both from NBM), drawn by the duo Kerascoët. He passed away, too early, in 2020. A nom de plume for wife/husband team of comic artists Marie Pommepuy and Sébastien Cosset, they are also artists in advertising, animation and fashion. They are famous for their work in the Dungeon series as well as Miss Don't Touch Me.
