by Mallory Reaves (Author), Studio Dice (Illustrator), Gianluca Papi (Illustrator)

In Disney's live-action film "Beauty and the Beast," Belle, a bright, beautiful, and independent young woman, is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince inside. Dark, cool, muted colors show the Beast's pessimistic view of the world in this full-color manga-style graphic novel, which explores the Beast's struggle as he tries to move on from his past and learn what it is to love.
