Brand New "Fables" Graphic Novel!


If you haven't gotten into the dynamite series "Fables" yet, here's a brand new crash course volume called "1001 Nights of Snowfall."
But first, let's have some back story, shall we? "Fables" is about all of our favorite fairytale folks living in modern day New York City, having been chased from their fairylands by the evil "adversary." Snow White is in charge of all city hall operations and the Big Bad Wolf has ventured over to the good side, much to the chagrin of a few little piggies we all know.


Now, in homage to Scheherezade, Snow White pulls 1001 stories out of her hat to keep her clever self alive. These stories prequel the series and feature an array of characters: Hansel, Gretel and the Witch, Snow White and some darn creepy dwarves, the sweet frog prince.

These stories can be read alone or as an addictive suppliment to the series. Can you tell how much I love these things?!
