☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of the acclaimed Vertigo series introduces a community of fairy-tale characters forced into hiding in modern-day New York City after a mysterious adversary conquers their homelands. The story follows Bigby Wolf, the reformed Big Bad Wolf turned sheriff, as he investigates the disappearance of Rose Red, uncovering secrets that threaten the fragile peace among the exiled Fables. Collecting issues #1-5 of the original run, this trade paperback establishes the noir-infused world and political intrigue that define the series.
"Chapter One: Old Tales Revisited" kicks off the acclaimed Fables series with a vivid, grounded origin for Bigby Wolf, revealing how he broke the Adversary’s hold on Snow White and other fairy tale refugees, leading to their escape to America—and the magical transformation that allowed the wolf to walk as a man. Written and illustrated by Bill Willingham, the story blends myth and mystery with a quiet, deliberate pace, setting the tone for the series’ blend of folklore and noir. The striking cover by Mark Buckingham captures the haunting beauty of this new beginning.
