When a woman opens an ancient book, she releases the Queen of Fables, who immediately sets off in search of "the fairest of them all" -- Wonder Woman -- turning Manhattan in the dark forest of fairy tales. As soon as the JLA enters the forest, the Queen separates Wonder Woman from her teammates, and the remaining members split up into pairs to search for her. While Plastic Man and Martian Manhunter find themselves trapped in the gingerbread cottage from Hansel and Gretel, Green Lantern and Flash find Wonder Woman asleep in a glass coffin.
