Fables

In the mid-2000s, Semic S.A. published this brief two-issue comic series that brought together Bill Willingham and Nicole Duclos as writers, with James Jean and Lan Medina contributing the artwork. The story presents a world where characters from classic folklore and fairy tales are real, living as refugees in modern-day New York City after being driven from their homelands by a mysterious Adversary. Though short-lived, this series is notable for introducing the core concept that would later define Willingham's acclaimed long-running work on the subject.
