Bill Willingham''s whimsical series utilizes just about every childhood fable in a tale of exile and persecution. The Fables, who include such notables as the Big Bad Wolf and Snow White, had their Homeland overtaken by a mysterious villain known as the Adversary. With their world enslaved, many of the Fables were able to escape to our world -- New York City to be exact. Though they live secretly among us, the Fables must continually deal with the drama of their lost home and the political instability of their new home, Fabletown.
