Representaion During Books Fables: The Deluxe Edition, Book One (Fables: The Deluxe Edition #1)
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 created their own secret society-within an exclusive luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side-called Fabletown. But when Snow White's party-girl sister, Rose Red, is apparently murdered, it is up to Bigby, Fabletown's sheriff, and a reformed and pardoned Big Bad Wolf, to determine if the culprit is Bluebeard, Rose's ex-lover and notorious wife killer, or Jack, her current live-in boyfriend and former beanstalk-climber.

As part of my impossibly long backlog of Famous Comics Billy Should Read, Im finally getting to Fables. And hey, turns out, its renowned for a good reason! I may not be a folklore/fairy tale expert, but I know enough to be very, very down with the premise of this comic. All of the fairy tale characters you know (and a helluva lot more you dont) being forced to live in our modern world is a killer setting, and Willinghams story extracts a lot of compelling material from it. The characters feel aMy first taste of this literary work was the delectable, tender flesh of Cubs in Toyland, and I developed a strange appetite for Bill Willingham's fairy-tale saga ever since. I was reading through fifty issues already of my .cbr files when I finally bought the first volume of the new Deluxe edition. I was more than pleased to re-read everything in tangible and crisp pages. As a fan of the ABC series Once Upon A Time, I knew about the fact that OUAT (and another show, Grimm) were inspired by this
Fables: The Deluxe Edition, Book One by Bill Willingham
I've had a difficult time getting into more "traditional" American comics, but Fables warmed me up to it. I absolutely love this series, and I absolutely LOVE Bigby. He is my driving force throughout this entire series as well as Boy Blue. It's a beautiful accumulation of traditional fairy tales and bringing them into a modern setting. It's basically what I wanted out of Once Upon a Time, and for any person who loves fairy tales and comics should read this. (R18+)
Great with the shiny pages and the hardcover. Good detective style start as well.
I've been meaning to read Fables for some time now, but kept putting it off - too busy, had other things to read etc etc. I should have read it sooner. Fables is ridiculously fun, with just enough of a dark edge to keep my attention. The re-imagining of old characters is pretty genius, with favourites being Snow White as the over-it-all deputy mayor of the fairytale community and the Big Bad Wolf reformed and now serving as Sheriff. The art is great. Everything is great. Being only the first
I absolutely adore this series. I've read through it at least 3 times at this point. Bill Willingham hit on an ingenious idea. What if the characters from fairy tales were real? And they are currently outcasts on our world. The first arc Legends in Exile introduces us to our main group of characters. It's a murder mystery. Someone has killed Rose Red and the town Fables have to get to the bottom of what happened.The second arc, Animal Farm deals with all the Fables who can't pass as human. They
