DC Comics's Vertigo imprint is known for providing readers with a darker, more adult comic reading experience. While you may know Vertigo for classic comics such as Swamp Thing and Sandman, it's Bill Willingham's Fables series that is gaining the publisher the most attention nowadays. Fables reimagines fairy tale and folklore standbys, such as Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf, in a modern day setting. These characters refer to themselves as "Fables" and have set up camp in a New York City community called Fabletown. If you're looking for a fairy tale that's delightfully twisted, and beautifully drawn, look no further than this modern day classic.
