☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover collection from DC serves as a prequel to the main Fables series, framed as a series of stories told by Snow White to her new husband, King Flycatcher, on their wedding night. Written by Bill Willingham with art from a rotating roster of guest illustrators, it reimagines classic fairy tales from the Fables universe, including the origins of characters like the Big Bad Wolf and Snow White herself. The book stands alone as an entry point for new readers while deepening the lore for established fans.
In "A Most Troublesome Woman [Part 1]," Snow White—now an ambassador from the exiled FABLES—finds herself imprisoned by a sultan in Arabia who intends to marry her, then kill her. With wit and cunning, she turns the tables, weaving a series of dazzling tales to delay her fate, echoing the legendary Scheherazade across a thousand nights. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated with lush, intricate art by Michael Wm. Kaluta, with inks by Charles Vess and colors by Vess himself, this issue features a striking cover by James Jean.
In "A Most Troublesome Woman [Part 1]," Snow White, serving as an ambassador for the exiled Fables, finds herself captured by a sultan in Arabia who intends to marry her—then kill her. Instead of despairing, she turns the tables with wit and courage, beginning a perilous game of storytelling that could save her life.
