It introduces a world where fairy tale characters have been exiled from their homelands and now live secretly in modern-day New York City, with the story focusing on the political intrigue and mysteries that arise within this hidden community. The volume includes a new introduction and a gallery of cover art by James Jean.
"Chapter One: Old Tales Revisited" kicks off Fables: The Deluxe Edition #1 with a gripping blend of fairy tale intrigue and political tension, as Snow White, imprisoned alongside Weyland Smith, awaits rescue amid rising unrest. Written by Bill Willingham and brought to life by Mark Buckingham’s detailed art, Steve Leialoha’s inks, Daniel Vozzo’s colors, and Todd Klein’s lettering, the story unfolds with a sense of looming consequence. Cover by James Jean adds a haunting, dreamlike quality to the tale of rebellion, awakening giants, and a dragon named Reynard—where the true cost of a story’s end may not yet be known.
Snow White and Rose Red embark on a tense road trip to The Farm for a routine check-up, their uneasy dynamic simmering beneath the surface. What begins as a simple errand quickly unravels when they uncover signs of growing unrest among the nonhuman Fables living there.
In "The Guns of Fabletown," Snow White is determined to uncover the truth behind Colin Pig’s death, but her path is obstructed by Goldilocks and her allies. As Rose Red steps forward to help and Reynard flees in fear, the tension mounts—can he reach Snow White before it’s too late?
In "The Pirates of Upstate New York," Goldilocks presses on in her search for Snow White, while Snow and Reynard share a quiet moment that hints at deeper currents beneath the surface. Bigby prepares for a confrontation, and when Weyland Smith is finally located, the revelation leads to an unexpected arrest—leaving the fate of the revolution hanging in the balance.
In "Warlord of the Flies," Snow White finds herself imprisoned alongside Weyland Smith as revolutionaries close in, threatening to ignite chaos. With Reynard the dragon and the three giant brothers now awake, Snow White steps forward to quell the uprising—but her true intentions remain shrouded in mystery.
