In collaboration with DC comics, ABC is bringing an adaptation of Fables to network television. Fables, is a DC / Vertigo comic book series, created by Bill Willingham, about fairy tale characters such as Snow White, Price Charming and The Big Bad Wolf, who were forced out of their land and end up living in modern day New York City.

"DC Comics' "Fables" is heading to ABC."
"The network has handed out a put pilot commitment to the fantasy project, based on the comic book created by Bill Willingham and published by DC's Vertigo imprint."
"The comic book series' first storyline followed Fabletown's sheriff, a reformed and pardoned Big Bad Wolf, who investigates the murder of Snow White's party-girl sister, Rose Red."
"We set up a structure to allow any fairy tale character to show up in any one episode," Metzner said.
The fairy tale characters will keep some of their trademark characteristics. For instance, Prince Charming will be handsome, while Big Bad Wolf will have to shave a four-day shadow from growing back every day.
But overall, "they are just like real people in the real world who live and breathe and look just like you and me," Metzner said.
