Written by BILL WILLINGHAM. Art by MARK BUCKINGHAM and STEVE LEIALOHA. Cover by JAMES JEAN.

Collects Fables (2002) #6 - 10.

The second story arc of the fan-favorite, critically acclaimed VERTIGO series. Travel to upstate New York, where the non-human Fable characters have found refuge on a farm, miles from mankind. But all is not well on the farm - and a conspiracy to free them from the shackles of their perceived imprisonment may lead to a war that could wrest control of the Fables community away from Snow White. Starring Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Although quite political, the second story arc from Willingham's Fables isn't a version of Orwell's political parable. In it the scene shifts from the New York enclave of the human Fableland exiles to the upstate farm their animal and insufficiently human-appearing fellows inhabit. Snow White, who runs things for King Cole, makes her biannual farm visit, with fractious sister Rose Red in tow. There they find manager Weyland Smith nowhere in evidence and many nonhuman Fables talking up repatriating Fableland by force. What has actually happened is a still-covert coup led by animal-rights-spouting revolutionary Goldilocks. Snow and Rose get significantly up a creek before learning what's afoot from loyal Reynard, who, though a genuine fox, isn't above ogling those of other species. Despite some grisly developments, including a black-hand-style murder and a nearly successful assassination, this is a fun, always surprising read.

This second volume also contains a lot more of the fanciful than the first arc. Giants, dragons, and talking animals galore make this a pure fantasy with nothing even remotely ordinary. Also, this is not a tale for children, with sexual references and graphic gore spread throughout.  Picture Goldilocks as a sniper rifle-wielding revolutionary!
