Fables is a fantasy comic book series created by writer Bill Willingham and various artists. It takes place in a world where characters from fairy tales and folklore are forced to live in exile in modern-day New York City. The series follows the lives and adventures of these characters, who must navigate the challenges of the real world while dealing with their own personal struggles. Fables has been praised for its clever reimagining of classic characters, intricate storytelling, and exploration of themes such as identity, redemption, and the power of storytelling. While there hasn't been a direct adaptation of Fables, the series has inspired the TV show Once Upon a Time, which shares similar themes and concepts.
