Fables series by Bill Willingham

This series imagines a world in which all the characters from children's classic fairy tales -- Snow White, The Big Bad Wolf, Prince Charming, Little Red Riding Hood, and many, many more -- populate a world set in the present that's invisible to "normal" people. Legends in Exile is essentially a murder mystery, the heart of which is, who killed Little Red Riding Hood (Rose Red)? Although employing characters from a more innocent time, as well as a lot of humor, these are definitely adult and young adult stories. - JEP
