☆ 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 conquered their homelands. The story follows Bigby Wolf, the reformed Big Bad Wolf turned detective, as he investigates the disappearance of Rose Red, uncovering secrets within the Fable community. Written by Bill Willingham with art by Lan Medina, this collection establishes the central premise and tone of the long-running series.
"Chapter One: Old Tales Revisited" kicks off Fables #1 with a hauntingly vivid origin, weaving together the past of Bigby Wolf and his pivotal role in liberating Snow White and others from the Adversary’s grip. Written and illustrated by Bill Willingham, the story unfolds with quiet power, tracing their escape to America and the magical transformation that binds the wolf to human form. James Jean’s striking cover art captures the tale’s eerie, timeless tone.
