Fiction Squad

What’s to Love: After publishing Paul Jenkins’ Fairy Quest,we kinda have a thing for Fablewood, where all fairy tales and bedtime storieslive side-by-side. So when he came up with a mystery and fantasy mash-upadventure set there and enlisted his Civil War: Front Line artist RamonBachs, we hopped aboard faster than Alice went down the rabbit hole. InFiction Squad, every nursery rhyme is a crime scene in the making. If youlike your mystery mashed up with fantasy, like Fables and Once Upon aTime, this has got you covered.
