Fairest #22 (2014) dives deeper into the richly imaginative world of Fables, spinning a tale filled with danger, elegance, and mythic intrigue. Written by Marc Andreyko with hauntingly detailed artwork from Shawn McManus, this issue is part of the Clamour for Glamour arc—placing the spotlight squarely on some of the most captivating women in the Fables universe.
In this chapter, the enchanting Nalayani finds herself navigating the gritty underworld of modern-day Los Angeles, a long way from the ancient forests and magical lands she once knew. As she tries to adapt and survive among mortals, she becomes entangled in a dark, supernatural web of manipulation, power, and fractured identities. Fairest #22 captures the series' signature balance between fantasy and real-world grit, giving readers a story that is both magical and sharply relevant.
The artwork by McManus brings a lush, storybook quality to every page, with expressive characters and settings that shimmer with both beauty and menace. The writing continues to explore themes of empowerment, displacement, and the cost of survival in a world that has little room for fairy tales.
Part of the celebrated Vertigo imprint, Fairest acts as a companion series to Fables, but carves out its own voice—one that elevates and centres the stories of women who once lived in the shadows of legend.
