No Myth!! ABC Commits To Pilot
Based On DC/Vertigo’s FABLES!!

I am – Hercules!!


ABC has agreed to a put pilot commitment for “Fables,” based on the Bill Willingham funnybook series from DC Vertigo.

Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner (“Elektra,” “What About Brian,” “Six Degrees,” “Life Is Wild”) are scripting the pilot.

The Hollywood Reporter explains the premise:

… revolves around characters from fairy tales and folklore living in exile in modern-day New York.

"Fables" should not be confused with the Fox Network’s lawyer dramedy project based on “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”

Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.
