Legendary Talespinners

• From the dawn of creation there have been storytellers spinning timeless fables and folktales. Call them historians, poets, philosophers, or charlatans, it was their fanciful re-tellings of the age of wonder that kept children enwrapped in fantasy and immersed in imagination. But over the last two centuries something dark has been devouring the storytellers -- and even the stories themselves -- leaving children with dulled imaginations and no will to believe in giant killers or wicked witches. Abby was one of those children and is now a young woman who still lives only in the concrete reality of her professional ambitions. Raised by a mother who had no time for "childish pursuits," she grew up too fast and locked her fertile imagination away forever. But Abby's orderly world comes crashing down upon her when a crazy old man who believes himself to be the real Baron Munchausen leads her into a festering fantasy world facing villainous henchmen, zombified fairytale creatures, and the most unlikely wickedest witch of them all!
• Written by James Kuhoric (Dead Irons / Freddy vs Jason vs Ash), illustrated by Grant Bond (Igor / Trick R Treat), and art directed by Nick Bradshaw (Danger Girl / Army of Darkness), Legendary Talespinners reshapes how we look at fables and the imagination!

Summary

• From the dawn of creation there have been storytellers spinning timeless
  fables and folktales. Call them historians, poets, philosophers, or charlatans,
  it was their fanciful re-tellings of the age of wonder that kept children
  enwrapped in fantasy and immersed in imagination. But over the last two
  centuries something dark has been devouring the storytellers — and even
  the stories themselves — leaving children with dulled imaginations and no
  will to believe in giant killers or wicked witches. Abby was one of those
  children and is now a young woman who still lives only in the concrete reality
  of her professional ambitions. Raised by a mother who had no time for "childish
  pursuits," she grew up too fast and locked her fertile imagination away forever.
  But Abby's orderly world comes crashing down upon her when a crazy old man who
  believes himself to be the real Baron Munchausen leads her into a festering
  fantasy world facing villainous henchmen, zombified fairytale creatures, and the
  most unlikely wickedest witch of them all!
