Remember all those fairy tales you used to read as a kid? Of Snow White and Cinderella? And how Beauty finally won the Beast? Well, step into the colorful, graphic novel world of Fables, today’s Featured Book of Color, brought to you Bill Willingham. In Fables, Willingham has brought to life all our fairy tale characters and situated them in present day New York City.

Seeking refuge from “The Adversary,” the characters have settled in and are attempting to live a semi-normal life among the “mundys.” Trouble begins to brew on the horizon, however, and the characters become divided amongst themselves on what to do. Can these fairy book exiles survive in a world where magic does not exist and they must hide their very essence? Keep on the lookout for the following installments to find out.
