*Fashionista, socialite – spy? Hey, if the shoe fits…

She poses as a haughty socialite in glass stilettos by day – and okay, sometimes by night. But Cinderella is actually Fabletown’s master spy. Tasked  with doing jobs too dirty and deadly for the average Fable, Cindy’s faced down dangers from a dozen worlds and lived to tell the tales (over cocktails in a hot tub, if you’re lucky).

But every secret agent has one annoyingly ruthless archnemesis, and Cindy is no exception. Back in the Big ‘Sos, Cindy encountered her dark mirror, a rogue American Fable, who was in league with the mysterious Shadow Fabletown. Cindy thought she’d destroyed her rival years ago. But when a powerful magician turns up dead and another seeks her help, Cindy’s hunt for her old enemy begins anew.

From the frigid back alleys of Russia to the steaming desert, Cindy will follow the clues down the blood-flecked yellow brick road and risk everything she’s got – including her secret identity – to solve the crime and finally get revenge on Silver Slipper.

Writer Chris Roberson (iZombie) and artist Shawn McManus (The Sandman), the team that brought you CINDERELLA: FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE, reunite with CINDERELLA: FABLES ARE FOREVER, and as a bonus, this collection also includes FABLES #51,  a stand-alone story by Eisner Award-winner Bill Willingham and Shawn McManus.*

Ihana seikkailu Cinderellan seurassa! Tästä ei puutu toimintaa eikä yllätyksiä. Tämä mestari vakooja koettaa jäljestää vanhaa tuttuaan (ei kovin hyvää sellaista) ja samalla kertoo muistoja kaksikon aikaisemmista kohtaamisista. Kumpi näistä naisista vetää lopulta pidemmän korren?

Hyvä tarina. Jännät hahmot ja perinteinen Fables-kuvitus.
