This series is by far my favourite graphic novel series. Because of this I am now a full fledged fan of Bill Willingham's work. He is a brilliant writer and artist with an outstanding gift for story telling. If you're hesistating to read this book, dont, it'll hook you before you even realize it.

This comic was a brilliant read! The murder, the lies, the suspense, and the alteration of our favorite childhood fairytales twisted into 119 pages of comics.

The graphics had the classic comics drawing. Each characters had their own spice. They were all different from the characters we remember as our childhood fairytales. The plot was breath-taking; I was at the edge of my seat. When the murder was solved it had the moment of "Holy crap! I didn't expect that! Look at all the details! How could I not seen that!" Pure magic, kind of remind me of the Detective Conan comics where you just fan girls at the detective skills.
There were gory scenes and sexual contents but it won't be a good comics if there weren't any.

I'm pretty sure the show Once Upon A Time was sort of influenced by the Fables comics. But I personally enjoy Fables better because it is not cheesy and typical. It actually have substance.

I cannot wait until I get my hands on the second book. :)

This series is one of two classic graphic novel series to re-interpret classic material. (The other being the Sandman) In this case the fables you may know from youth; The Big Bad Wolf, Aladdin, Snow White, Cinderella, (etc.) are re-interpreted into real modern characters. (Similar in theory to what was done in the Watchmen, though not as dark in execution.)

The series is gripping, well written and features stunning art. It will always keep you coming back. (I read through the first 12 books in 2 weeks)

I (as well as the many awards it has won) recommend it to any graphic novel reader and/or anyone who may be looking for a way into the genre.

This is graphic novel about the characters in fairy tales living in New York City. This was great read, the big bad wolf is a detective, Snow White and Prince Charming got a divorce (and he's banging every woman in New York), Beauty and the Beast need some couple counselling and Pinocchio just wants to get laid.
