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.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Beautiful and terrifying, bold and sensitive, perfectly attuned with how it feels to hear the wolves in the forest." -Otava Heikkilä, Letters for Lucardo
"Ariel Ries' comics are absolutely electric - full of page layouts so energetic and alive, you can practically see them moving on the page. Perfectly capturing the poetics and oral-storytelling rhythm of a classic fable, this tale is sure to keep you riveted." -Mel Gillman, Other Ever Afters
"A beautiful exploration of trauma and community care. In Ariel Ries' work, every page is a lush explosion of emotion, perfectly executed to make the reader feel the kind of clawing fear of a prey animal." -Kiku Hughes, Displacement
