Fables is a comic book series about well-known fairy tale and folklore characters known collectively in the series as Fables. The series focuses on a group of Fables who have left the Homelands after the invasion of an enemy who now rules an empire that includes most of the Homelands. The exiled Fables build their own city in what has become modern-day New York City. When the story begins, King Cole is mayor, Snow White is assistant mayor, the Big Bad Wolf (here known as Bigby Wolf) is sheriff, and other familiar characters play important roles. The compelling story, the fantastic artwork, and the humorous dialogue combine to make it a light-hearted, enjoyable read. We have the first two of eight hardcover volumes at Acorn.
