Fairy Tales. Book 8

Imagine that all our favorite fairy tales turned into real people and settled among us, preserving all their magical properties. How will they manage to survive in our ordinary, magic-less world? This wonderful variation on the fairy tale canon, created by Bill Willingham, answers this question. The heroes of beloved fairy tales return to us — return as exiles who live among people, cleverly disguising their Fabletown as one of the neighborhoods of New York City. And at the same time, they are waging an endless battle against evil — a cruel Emperor who has taken over their homeland. Intrigues, conspiracies, espionage, and open confrontations — everything is applicable in this invisible war. But there are other paths to victory… “Fables,” recognized by both critics and readers as a contemporary classic of the genre, has received numerous awards and is now being released as luxurious hardcover books. The eighth book of “Fables” in a deluxe edition includes the story “The Brave Prince” (issues 60–63 and 65–69), as well as a preface by Taran Killam and additional materials from the artist's notebook for this series, Mark Buckingham.
