See how love transforms the heart of a monster in this retelling of the Oscar®-winning animated fairytale classic.

When a spoiled young prince is punished for his selfishness and conceit by an enchantress, he is transformed into a hideous beast, and his castle is put under a spell. Unless he can learn to love, and be loved in return, by his twenty-first birthday, he will forever remain a beast. But in the body of a beast, angry, hopeless, and depressed, he secludes himself away in his castle. Years later, Belle, an intelligent and bold young woman is searching for her missing father and discovers him imprisoned within the Beast’s castle. She makes a deal with the Beast–he will free her father and she will take his place as a prisoner. Though their relationship begins with dislike and fear, it soon becomes understanding and compassionate as they develop a deep connection beyond what eyes can see. With the help of a talking candelabra, clock, teapot, and many more enchanted servants, in the labyrinth of the Beast’s castle, Belle comes to see the man behind the Beast.

Love is about more than just appearances in this cherished tale of romance and acceptance. Experience the miraculous transformation of the Beast in this graphic novel retelling of Disney’s classic Beauty and the Beast.
