Fractured Fables takes familiar fairy tales and nursery rhymes and turns them on their ear!

Like NO fairy tale book you’ve ever read before!

Ages 12+Adults

Mint condition.

Thirty well-known fairy tales get a fresh look in this graphic anthology. Cinderella is a spoiled, pop-culture-addicted teenager who micromanages her fairy godmother’s every preparation for Prince Charming’s ball; Little Miss Muffet is an eager and curious arachnophile; and the Tortoise and the Hare hash it out again, this time in the ultimate pie-eating contest. Some of comics’ best and brightest have contributed to this collection. Standouts include Terry Moore’s (Echo, Strangers in Paradise) screamingly hilarious twist on “The Frog Prince”—which is loaded with wicked snark, brash characters, and inside jokes—and Alexander Grecian and Christian Ward’s team-up on “The Real Princess,” a take on “The Princess and the Pea” that mixes classic storytelling, sharp humor, and beautifully ethereal artwork. All of the tales retold here are humorous while maintaining the sense of magic that fables usually invoke. The variety of art and stories provides a final collection that will appeal to middle-graders and adults as well as teens.
