Fables: The Good Prince by Bill Willingham

A janitor, named Fly, becomes a fabulous prince and is the sole descendant of the great knight, Lancelot of the Lake. Fly gathers an Army of the Dead and battles the Emporer, who was magically made by the Puppet Master, Gepetto, of Pinocchio fame. Other Fairy Tales come into the story, such as Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood and others, but the stories are all mixed up. For example, Little Red's Grandma is the one who actually tries to poison Snow White, and she is the one in control of Fable Town, which is basically one of the good kingdoms. The conflicts between these characters and kingdoms are confusing, but I enjoy figuring out the chess-like relationships with their powers, restrictions and military strategies.
I give this graphic novel 5 Tackymen and I would recommend to anyone 13 or older, due to some adult graphics.
