KREATEUR MEDIA / AN ORIGINAL DOUBLE FEATURE
Saint Oak: The Crow, the Fox & the Iron Heel
A young mayor, a powerful matriarch and a town whose future is being negotiated. La Fontaine’s fox and crow meet Jack London’s political world in an original 144-panel double-feature comic.
Bill Crowsly has won the election. Mary Foxton’s nephew has lost it. When Mary offers the young mayor her support, Saint Oak discovers how much a generous gesture can cost. Beneath the civic oak, a wheel of real cheese becomes a question of who gets a share.
- 48 story pages, 144 sequential panels and integrated speech balloons.
- Two connected parts: The Price of a Song and The Price of the Lesson.
- A 13-character cast, eight source quotations and a linked quote index.
- Cast pages, reading guidance, source notes and credits.
Two works. One town.
La Fontaine’s fox and crow meet the political world of Jack London’s The Iron Heel. Saint Oak combines a fable of flattery with an ensemble story about work, debt, public trust and concentrated power. A familiar American small town sits beneath extravagantly scaled modern industry.
This is an original double-feature adaptation, not an unabridged edition of either source. Its characters, setting and modern dialogue bring the two works into a new story.
