Recently, I was engaged in this comic book called "Fables" written by Bill Willingham. It was the 1st American comic book I have picked up since 6 years ago. This is not your typical men-in-underwear-flying-around-saving-your-arse kinda book. It's story concept is fabulous. Very tight story writting.
All your childhood fairy tales, from Cinderella, Snow White, Wizard of Oz, Big Bad Wolf, Jack and Jill to even Prince Charming are all involve in this huge story. All this "fables" are being exiled out off their homeland by an invading force. Guess where all these fairy tale legends goes to for hiding... Modern New York. Yes, they set up a community in New York and the whole fun and excitement starts off from there. It is the perfect book to read at night before you sleep or sitting in your favorite sofa in a rainy day with a cup of warm coffee.
This series have won 5 Eisner Awards.(Eisner Awards are the Oscar of Comic).
Go check it out, you will love it.(please note that it's for adults only as there are mature themes)

Interesting! Fantasies of men at work...
Come to think of it...it is also interesting to note that how much your taste has changed with age...from the typical men-in-underwear-flying-around-saving-your-arse kinda book (during the Bras Basah days) to all these skewed fables
