Fables


I am currently reading book 8 of the Vertigo Fables series. This mature take on our childhood fables are epic and beautiful in both tales and artwork. Created by Bill Willingham, these stories of mytical characters living their lives after the short stories we know are filled with drama, deception, and intrigue. The characters of Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and many other of your favorites have been run out of their homelands by the evil Adversary and have taken up residence in New York City. An odd tale to say the least, these graphic novels take Jack(of beanstalk fame) to Hollywood; while Bigby (Big Bad) Wolf is secretly dating Snow White. Trust me, read it!
