The Prince
The Prince
By Liam Cobb. Published by Retrofit.
Softcover, 120 pages, Monochrome, 2018.
Cobb's longest work to date, The Prince is his take on the Frog Prince fairytale. We follow May, who is going through a bad marriage, but forms an unlikely friendship with a frog, who mysteriously turns up at her apartment as things between her and her husband deteriorate. Part animal comedy, part erotic thriller, The Prince is a strange, vengeful love story that tells the story of a woman and her pet.
