fablesHC1Fables have been a very intriguing comic series since it came into the scene in 2002. For those who have missed its earlier issue, there is a great chance for them to get their hands on the reprint which was recently released by Vertigo. The Deluxe Edition is the collection of starting 10 issues of the series. Fables which have been the most acclaimed series of the writer Bill Willingham is one of his favorite creations. It is a great mix of a tale of fairy adventure, fantasy, politics and satire.

The success of the book is evident in the initial pages of the book which show the writer’s love for the characters. He manages to make the age-old creations his own by his excellent work. Fables have characters like Snow White, Cinderella and the Big Bad Wolf living among the humans in modern New York City where they manage to establish a secret town for themselves. fablesHC2

This Deluxe Edition collection introduce many key players to the readers. The hierarchy and the relationship of these characters within the Fable community are then established. The work of Willingham sure need to be appreciated for the way he has reinterpreted the various characters and placed them perfectly in the modern society.

The overall story of the collection can be termed as a murder mystery and creates a great sense of anticipation for the readers for the remaining series. The next hardcover though would be available after a year as promised by Willingham which may seriously test the patience of the readers.
