'''Snow White:''' [[Face Palm|Never mind.]] }}
Out in the middle of New York City, characters from the old stories and fairy tales live among us in exile. [[Bill Willingham]] has taken characters we've grown up with, including Snow White, Bigby (aka ''the'' Big Bad) Wolf, Jack Horner, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Boy Blue, the Frog Prince and [[Loads and Loads of Characters|many more]], and spins them into a realistic, modern day setting.
The characters we, the people of the Mundane World, thought were fictional have come to the real world to escape The Adversary, a despotic conqueror of tremendous power. Eventually, a number of these characters, heroes and villains alike, decide to put aside their differences and stick together in their own community. Old crimes are forgiven by signing a compact which makes them a citizen of this community, and also forbids them from revealing their true nature to the "[[Muggles|mundies]]". Non-human characters who can't afford a spell to make them look human are consigned to a secluded "farm" in Upstate New York. However, those old crimes are rarely, if ever, forgotten; a major early plot point is that Bigby Wolf is banned from said "farm" for all the atrocities he committed before he reformed.
