Term for three volumes of comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvel Fairy Tales is a term for three volumes of comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics and written by C. B. Cebulski with art by different artists each issue. Each of these series adapts fairytales and folk tales from around the world, using analogues of famous Marvel superheroes in place of the major characters. The series were published from 2006 to 2008 and were, in order, X-Men Fairy Tales, Spider-Man Fairy Tales, and Avengers Fairy Tales. A potential fourth series, Fantastic Four Fairy Tales, was mentioned as "in development" by Cebulski[1] but was never released.
X-Men Fairy Tales was the first such series, mixing folk tales with characters from X-Men comics. It ran from May 2006 to September 2006.[2][3] Issue #1 quickly sold out.[4]
Spider-Man Fairy Tales was the second of the Marvel Fairy Tales series and featured adaptations of characters from Spider-Man comics. It ran from May 2007 to October 2007.
Cebulski's third miniseries in the line: Avengers Fairy Tales, features characters from Avengers comics. It ran from May–August 2008. It differed from the other volumes in not retelling fairy tales or folk tales but adapting four children's novels.
