Fairest #4 (2012) continues the dazzling debut arc of Vertigo’s enchanting spin-off from the beloved Fables series. Written by Bill Willingham and featuring breathtaking artwork by Phil Jimenez, this issue delivers a rich blend of classic fairy tale allure and modern fantasy drama, with a flair for intrigue, wit, and magic.
In the fourth chapter of Wide Awake, the tale of Briar Rose—also known as Sleeping Beauty—takes a dramatic turn. Captured and now the key pawn in a dangerous plot, she must rely on her cunning and inner strength as much as her magical heritage. Alongside her is the mysterious and charming Ali Baba, a reluctant hero drawn into a whirlwind of ancient curses, political manipulation, and timeless secrets.
Fairest #4 beautifully balances character development with plot progression, peeling back layers of familiar legends to reveal fresh motivations and surprising twists. Phil Jimenez’s art is nothing short of stunning—elegant, detailed, and immersive, bringing each panel to life with a classic storybook aesthetic fused with modern storytelling techniques.
This issue is essential for fans of Fables and newcomers alike, offering a self-contained story that enriches the broader mythos while standing strong on its own. Lovers of fantasy, folklore, and beautifully drawn comics will find Fairest #4 a true gem worth adding to their collection.
