Fairy Quest: Outcasts

In Fairy Quest: Outcasts, writer Paul Jenkins and artist Humberto Ramos reimagine classic fairy tale characters as fugitives in a dystopian world where their stories are strictly controlled by the oppressive "Fablewood" authorities. Published by Boom! Studios beginning in 2014, this two-issue series follows Red Riding Hood and her friend, the Big Bad Wolf, as they escape their assigned narratives and search for freedom beyond the borders of their own tales. With Ramos's dynamic, expressive art and Jenkins's clever twist on familiar lore, the series offers a fresh, darkly whimsical take on the consequences of storytelling and conformity.
