This time around you can purchase FABLES VOLUME ONE softcover for just $5.00! That's right! The first five issues of the incredibly cool Fables series all in one nice volume for a mere $5.00!

Fables has been running as a series since 2002, and over that time has won 12 Eisner awards and been named by premiere comic review site IGN as "the best comic book currently being produced". If you have never read Fables, here is your chance to get in on the ground floor of the most successful Vertigo Comics series since Neil Gaiman's Sandman! The first story arch introduces readers to Fabletown and its cast of characters as Sheriff Bigby Wolf investigates the apparent murder of Rose Red. But over the course of the series, Bill Willingham steers the series through many realms of genre fiction, which I think keeps the plots fresh and intriguing.

Here is more of an overview on Fables from Wikipedia:

Fables is a comic book series created by writer Bill Willingham, published by DC Comics's Vertigo imprint beginning in 2002. The series deals with various characters from fairy tales and folklore – referring to themselves as "Fables" – who have been forced out of their Homelands by "The Adversary" who has conquered the realm. The Fables have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate New York.

Willingham reinterpreted many of the characters, evident in the divorce of Snow White and Prince Charming due to his infidelity. The former is deputy mayor of Fabletown as the series begins. Another principal character is the Big Bad Wolf (calling himself "Bigby"), who has not only reformed, but gained the ability to take on human appearance, and serves as Fabletown's sheriff at the series' beginning.

That's just a brief intro to this great comic... buy it, try it, we believe you won't be disappointed.
