Fables was a comic book series published by DC Comics's Vertigo imprint beginning in 2002. The series deals with various people from fairy tales and folklore – referring to themselves as "Fables" – who have been forced out of their Homelands by "The Adversary" who has conquered the realm. The Fables have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate New York.[1]

Publication history

A principal character is the Big Bad Wolf (calling himself "Bigby"), who has not only reformed, but gained the ability to take on a more human appearance, and serves as Fabletown's sheriff at the series' beginning. Many other casting characters have also been reformed in such a way to preserve their natural state from past "fable" descriptions.

Earlier story arcs each take on the form of a different genre: the first is a murder mystery, the next a conspiracy thriller, and then a caper story.

Various artists have worked on the title. The covers were done by James Jean, who left the book after issue 81. João Ruas took over as cover artist after Jean left the series. The majority of the interior work has been done by Mark Buckingham, who reportedly will be given the reins to the story if Willingham becomes unable to continue it.[2] Other artists include: Bryan Talbot, Lan Medina, P. Craig Russell, Mike Allred, Craig Hamilton, and Linda Medley.

It was announced in November 2013 that the series would end with issue #150 in early 2015.[3] The final issue of Fables was a larger than normal issue comprising most of the twenty-second Fables trade paperback.[4] It was released in July 2015.

Characters

The main characters of Fables are public domain figures from folklore, mythology, and literature. Bill Willingham has said the only considerations in deciding whether he chooses to use a character are "is the character or story free for use?" and "do I want to use it?"[5] Most of the characters seen so far are from European stories. The major exceptions are Arabian fables and American fables, from the fable world of Americana appearing in "Jack of Fables", such as Paul Bunyan, Black Sambo (now known as Sam) and the Lone Ranger. Most of these characters appear primarily in the Jack of Fables spin-off.

Spin-offs

1001 Nights of Snowfall

Prequel to Fables written by Willingham. It was initially released in hardcover on October 18, 2006. Based on the One Thousand and One Nights, it tells a story from a time early in Fabletown's history when Snow White was sent as an emissary to the Arabian Fables. The Sultan's Vizier secretly presents Snow to Sultan as his next wife in order to delay his daughter Scheherazade from suffering the same fate. Snow must amuse the Sultan with a new story every night to prevent him from executing her at dawn, as he has done with all his former wives.

Cinderella

A spin-off mini-series announced at the Fables Panel at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con. Written by novelist and publisher Chris Roberson (another of Willingham and Sturges's fellow Clockwork Storybook alumni) with painted cover art by Chrissie Zullo, the miniseries was drawn by Shawn McManus,[17] and (according to Comic Book Resources ' Timothy Callahan) "answers the question of what happened to Cinderella's fairy godmother."[18] Writer Roberson says, "It's 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' meets 'Sex and the City.'" The concluding issue was released in April 2010.[19]

A six-issue sequel to Chris Roberson and Shawn McManus's earlier Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love series, was released in mid-2011.[20]

Fables: War and Pieces was nominated for the first Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story.[28]Fables: The Dark Ages, Fables: Witches and Fables: Rose Red were also nominated.

Prominent review site IGN has called it "the best comic book currently being produced"[29]

Adaptations

Convention

'Fabletown and Beyond' is a comic convention, created by Bill Willingham, to showcase and appreciate comic books that fall under the genre of Mythic Fiction. Bill Willingham announced this new project during his panel at the 2012 San Diego Comic Convention, stating "We're going to have a nearly-all 'Fables' dedicated con called Fabletown and Beyond – it's 'Fables' and books like 'Fables.'"[30] Fables artist, Mark Buckingham, was the guest of honor for the first ever FablesCon on March 22–24, 2013 in Rochester, MN.[31]

Television series

A television series based on Fables was put into development by NBC in 2005 for the 2006–2007 Television Season. The show received a script order and was developed by Craig Silverstein and Warner Bros. Television[32] but was not developed any further than the scripting stage. NBC would later go on to produce Grimm, a police procedural set in a world where fairytales are real.[33][34]

On December 8, 2008 it was announced that ABC had picked up the rights to develop a pilot of Fables for the 2009–2010 television season. Six Degrees creators and executive producers Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner were writing the script for the hourlong drama, again set up at Warner Bros. Television, while David Semel had come on board to direct.[35][36] There has been no news since concerning a series based directly on Willingham's series and, in late 2010, he said "[t]he TV show that was prematurely announced is probably dead."[37] Instead, ABC announced a new series called Once Upon a Time, which features fairy tale characters such as Snow White and Prince Charming who have been cursed to live in the real world by the Evil Queen without the memories of their former lives.[33][34] The show's creators, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, stated that they "read a couple issues" of Fables but believe that while the two concepts are "in the same playground," they are "telling a different story."[38]

Film

Warner Bros. is developing a live action Fables film with David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford producing, Jeremy Slater and Jane Goldman writing & Nikolaj Arcel directing.[39][40][41]

Video game

On February 17, 2011, Telltale Games announced The Wolf Among Us,[42] an episodic adventure game based upon Fables. With the first of its five episodes released on October 11, 2013 (and the final episode released on July 8, 2014), the game is canon with the comic book universe and is set as a prequel to the comic book.[43]

The popular Blue Tea Games series Dark Parables was inspired by Fables.[44]
