Fables & Fairy Tales
by morgan on Jun.09, 2009, under Brandon Sanderson
I’d love to read more fantasy that draws inspiration from classic folk legends and myths: Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Aesop’s Fables and Arabian Nights.
Del Toro has done this as well as anyone with his Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth movies.
The graphic novel that reconnects with those old legends, that any fantasy fan is likely to love, is Fables by Bill Willingham. He features Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White to tell brilliant stories.
So what do you think, does execution trump originality, or are you willing to forgive poor execution if the ideas are fresh and exotic enough?
Featured Book
From the author of the "New York Times"-bestselling Night Huntress series comes a sexy spinoff, in which Cat's and Bones' closest confidants are confronted with heart-stopping lust, love, and danger of their own.
