Vertigo Launches Fables Spin Off "Fairest"

Vertigo's Fables gets a new spin-off from in the form of "Fairest" which will tell the story of the princesses from the ongoing tale. The best part? The first cover will be done by Adam Hughes.

Fairest will split away from Fables in March to tell "the scret histories of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, the Snow Queen, Thumbelina, Snow White, Rose Red and others." The first arc, written by Fables scribe Bill Willingham, will last for six issues and follows the "misadventures of Briar Rose after she is stolen away by the goblin army in Fables #107," and the arc will be illustrated by Phil Jimenez with inks by Andy Lanning.
