A good collection of comics based on various fables. I read Chris Duffy’s Fairy Tale Comics right before this, which I think set the standards pretty high for this one. I loved the Fairy Tale collection. The artwork was beautiful (and often hilarious) and the stories were great.

I did not enjoy this one as much. The artwork was still awesome, but I think fables just don’t always have very interesting plots. After many stories, I had no idea what even happened.

Most of the stories come from Aesop with a smattering of other stories from various cultures. There were a decent amount that I had never heard of (apparently I need to catch up on my fables). This may have been why I was often confused by the comic version. I think it is easier to go into the comic at least having a base of the original story.

Still a good read with funny pictures, but I suggest having read the original fables first.
