About
Erstwhile is a project that was born from a love of fairy tales. Fairy Tales have captured our hearts for generations, appealing to our taste for adventure, horror, and romance. Through the years these stories have been told time and again, though some of these tales are told a lot less than others. Many have been considered too dark for today’s children and thus watered down to suit the needs and wants of the culture. Erstwhile is returning to the roots of these stories, telling them in as they appeared when Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published them. This series also concentrates on the often overlooked stories; tales that despite their quality are often ignored or unknown.
Creators: The scripts for this comic project are adapted by Gina Biggs from the original Grimm’s tales and illustrated by Gina Biggs, Louisa Roy, and Elle Skinner who are all members of Strawberry Comics. Each of these ladies has a love and fascination for fairy tales and hopes that you will enjoy the work to come!
Q: Are you planning to do more popular tales like Cinderella or Snow White?
A: There are no immediate plans to adapt those stories. While they are great stories, there are so many other good stories by the Brothers Grimm that receive little to no attention at all. That is why Erstwhile was created. We want to illustrate the fairy tales that get little to no attention, despite their quality.
