Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When a savage creature known only as the Adversary conquered the fabled lands of legends and fairy tales, all of the infamous inhabitants of folklore were forced into exile. Disguised among the normal citizens of modern-day New York, these magical characters have created their own peaceful and secret society within an exclusive luxury apartment building called Fabletown. But when Snow White's party-girl sister, Rose Red, is apparently murdered, it is up to Fabletown's sheriff, a reformed and pardoned Big Bad Wolf, to determine if the killer is Bluebeard, Rose's ex-lover and notorious wife killer, or Jack, her current live-in boyfriend and former beanstalk-climber.

This is a fantastic series. The way Willingham has spun these well-known characters is always surprising. This particular volume isn't my favorite of the series as it was just getting its footing, but it evolves into an amazing story. Highly recommended!

This is a fantastic and creative graphic novel series. This is one of those thing where if I find out a friend has not read Fables, I lend them all of the books I have. I highly recommend.

This is a very creative spin on the world of fairy tales. Bill, starts the tales of many of our favorite story characters, Snow White, The Big Bad Wolf and more, and sets them into modern life situations and tribulations. This is the first of a series of 13 Adult Graphic Novels, and continues to keep your attention thoughout the series. There is even a big surprise half way though as one our our favorite fairy tails becomes a evil dictator of a deadly army. Art work is excellent and it's a beautiful publication.
