Fables is the hugely imaginative story of a group of fairy tale characters exited from their mythical homelands and forced into a secret existence in modern-day America. Featuring such familar names as Little Boy Blue, Red Riding Hood and Bigby (formerly Big Bad) Wolf, this is hard-edged fantasy in the grand tradition of The Sandman. A journalist is prowling the borders of the Fables' hidden world, grimly determined to expose their community to the world at large. Resolved to prevent this, the Fables hatch a plan so cunning, you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel! Volume three continues to explore this extraordinary underworld, as related by some of the best creators in the comics industry! Warning: Adults Only!
