Fairy Quest is a Comic Book series by Paul Jenkins.

In the land of Fablewood, every Fairytale and fable you've ever read exists side-by-side. And under Mister Grimm's rule, they all stick to their roles in their stories VERY closely. Any deviations, and those who do so find themselves subject to the Mind Eraser.

Enter Red, a young girl with a red hood, and Mister Woof, a very big wolf. The two are supposed to be enemies in their story, but they decide they want to be friends instead. Naturally, Mister Grimm frowns upon this, and wants them back to being what their story says they are. Red and Mister Woof don't want to go through the Mind Eraser, of course. So, they decide they need to escape to someplace Mister Grimm can't reach them. They hear of a place called the "Real World", and decide it's the perfect place for them to go.

So, the two set out to find this fabled "Real World" in the hopes of getting to keep their friendship.

The series has two books in the series so far.

Volume 1: Outlaws

Volume 2: Outcasts

The series was funded on Kickstarter on May 13th, 2012. The comic was released on December 10th, 2013.


Fairy Quest contains examples of:

  • Big Bad: Mister Grimm, who rules over Fablewood, making sure all its inhabitants follow their roles in their stories. Any who deviate in the slightest bit are rounded up by his Think Police to be put through the Mind Eraser.
  • Control Freak: Mister Grimm issues citations if a character does not use officially sanctioned dialogue, and issues tardiness violations if they are late by seconds.
  • Faceless Mooks: The Think Police wear uniforms that leave their faces none too visible.
  • In the Hood: Being Red Riding Hood, she of course wears her titular red hood.
  • Interspecies Friendship: Red, a human, is friends with Mister Woof, a wolf. Mister Grimm doesn't like it, though.
  • Tropaholics Anonymous: Red goes to a support group of other fairy tale characters, including Cinderella, who are unhappy with their stories in the shoe from the little old woman who lived in a shoe
