Bill Willingham writes comics and graphic novels, best known for Fables. The series imagines characters from fairy tales, folklore and nursery stories living in exile in modern New York after being driven from their homelands by a mysterious enemy. Snow White, Bigby Wolf, Prince Charming and many other familiar figures are recast as politicians, investigators, soldiers and difficult neighbours inside a long-running community. Fables combines fantasy, crime, war and political storylines across many volumes, with spin-offs expanding particular characters and settings. Willingham's work is serial and ensemble-driven, depending on the interaction between text and artwork rather than prose alone. It fits fantasy comics, revisionist fairy-tale fiction and long-form graphic storytelling for readers interested in familiar characters placed inside adult social and political structures.
