Fables

A lushly painted, 23-issue series from Urban Comics (2012–2016), Fables reimagines classic fairy-tale characters exiled to modern-day New York. The run is defined by its stunning, painterly artwork from Nimit Malavia, Christopher Moeller, and James Jean, whose visual styles elevate the dark, political intrigue of this hidden magical community. It stands as a distinctive, self-contained chapter in the broader Fables mythos, celebrated for its mature, atmospheric storytelling and its commitment to treating these legendary figures with a gritty, lived-in realism.
