"Fables" is the hugely imaginative story of a group of fairy tale characters exiled from their mythical homelands and forced into a secret existence in modern-day America. Now these legendary characters live in Fabletown, an enchanted, luxury apartment building, disguised in the heart of New York City. But when Rose Red, Snow White's party-girl sister, is murdered, it's up to the town sheriff - a re-formed, pardoned 'Bigby' Wolf - to investigate. His chief suspects? Rose's ex-lover and notorious wife-killer Bluebeard, and her current beau, one-time beanstalk-climber Jack! Presented in a high-quality, oversized hardback format, prepare to revisit the multiple Eisner Award-winning, bestselling fantasy series! Warning: Adults Only!
