Stories

  • Twice the Hero - The New Adventures of Jack and Jack Part 3 of 4 · 22 pages

    Jack Frost, Elsa and MacDuff are captured by the Night Walkers and Jack Frost makes a deal with their King to free them and establish a truce if he is able to defeat the Sorcerer who is attempting to control them. Meanwhile Jack Horner completes his transformation.

Publisher’s description

Jack Horner keeps getting fatter, bigger and uglier. It's pretty clear some sort of strong magic is at work, but is it a diabolical attack - or a final comeuppance at long last for Jack's many sins? In the meantime, his son Jack Frost has thoroughly taken over his dad's old book. Along with his new companion McDuff, Jack Frost has entered the itinerant hero trade, but so far with decidedly mixed results. Will he get better at his new chosen profession and become the modern Jack of Fables?
