Angels. Chimeras. Ghosts. Witches. The Worm King. Within THE WITCH'S EGG, Donya Todd's modern medieval murals go incredibly hard. @averyhill.bsky.social
Graphic Novel Review: Cute apocalypse within THE WITCH’S EGG
The Witch’s Egg Cartoonist: Donya Todd Publisher: Avery Hill Publishing / $19.99 October 2025 Lightning and rainbows. The Witch’s Egg is a story of love and demons, having sex with an angel, making a deal with a toad (and a snake, a hare, a crow…), hiding an egg from the prophecy of a worm. It is modern and it is ancient.
