Review by Library Journal Review

Collecting the first two trade paperbacks of the award-winning "Fables" series as well as additional material, this first volume in the "Deluxe Edition" series is the perfect introduction for newcomers. Full of mythology and humor, Willingham's tales take an existing set of characters (e.g., Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf) and put a modern day spin on them. Forced out of their home world by an ongoing war, the fables now live in various areas in New York. The stories unravel page by page, and this rhthym gives the tales a classic mystery feeling. The characters are the real stars of the show, with each contributing her or his own wit and wisdom. Verdict Excellent artwork by Lan Medina, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, and Craig Hamilton and well-thought-out stories will entice even those who usually don't read graphic novels. Longtime fans of the series will enjoy the supplemental material. Essential for graphic novel collections.-Justin Hoenke, Cape May Cty. Lib., NJ (c) Copyright 2010.
