Cheshire Crossing
Synopsis
Years after their journeys to other worlds, Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy are sent to Cheshire Crossing, a boarding school for girls whose ‘delusions’ about Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz are anything but. Each can cross between realities, and the school exists to study and contain that power.
When old enemies — including the Wicked Witch of the West — recognize what these girls can do, the three are pulled into a fight that spills across all their worlds at once.
Originally a webcomic Weir wrote and drew between 2006 and 2008 and later reimagined with artist Sarah Andersen, the graphic novel runs at a breakneck pace, treating the classic heroines as capable young women rather than passive visitors.
