Quite a story in the pictures! (4)
I believe the answer is:
epic
'quite a story' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in the pictures' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'EPIC' is hidden within 'the pictures'.
(Other definitions for epic that I've seen before include "eg The Iliad" , "Impressively great" , "Long poem/story" , "Long poem, book, film" , "Of heroic proportions" .)
