Fables: Animal Farm - 2003 | A Dark and Twisted Fairytale Revolution
Fables: Animal Farm (2003) is a gripping chapter in Bill Willingham’s award-winning Fables series, weaving classic fairytales into a mature, politically charged narrative filled with tension, rebellion, and unexpected twists. This trade paperback collects issues #6-10 of the critically acclaimed Vertigo Comics series, delivering a compelling mix of fantasy, mystery, and social commentary.
Following the events of Legends in Exile, the story shifts focus to Fabletown’s hidden enclave, the Farm, a secluded community where non-human Fables—talking animals, mythical creatures, and other enchanted beings—are forced to live, forbidden from residing among humans. When Snow White and Rose Red visit the Farm, they uncover a rising insurgency led by the militant Goldilocks and a group of dissatisfied residents who yearn for freedom. Inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm, this arc explores themes of power, corruption, and rebellion as the Farm’s inhabitants prepare for a violent coup against Fabletown’s leadership.
With Mark Buckingham’s stunning artwork bringing the eerie, tension-filled atmosphere to life, every panel is rich with expressive character work and dynamic action sequences. Willingham’s storytelling blends deep character development with sharp political allegory, making this an unforgettable entry in the series. Fables: Animal Farm is essential reading for fans of dark fairytales, fantasy epics, and thought-provoking narratives.
