Marvel Fairy Tales is a set of limited series published by Marvel Comics from 2006 to 2008 that adapts classic fairy tales, or invokes their tropes and traditions, and places Marvel's own famous characters in the roles. So far, there have been three series: Spider-Man Fairy Tales , X-Men Fairy Tales , and The Avengers Fairy Tales . A series based on Fantastic Four was planned but never realized. The stories are all written by C.B. Cebulski, and have a different artist for every story. Here is a list of fairy tales adapted: Spider-Man Fairy Tales: Little Red Riding Hood with Mary Jane Watson as Red, Peter as the woodsman, Aunt May in the role of the grandmother, and a wolf that looks suspiciously like Venom. A tribute to the African folk stories of Anansi with Spidey as Anansi (naturally), and featuring elementals that are modeled after Hydro-Man, Sandman, Cyclone, Swarm, and the Green Goblin. X-Men Fairy Tales: Momotarō with Cyclops as Momotaro, Professor X as the monk, Iceman as the dog, Beast as the monkey, Angel as the pheasant, Jean Grey as the monk's daughter, and Magneto, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Toad as the oni who captured Jean. Mystique, Pyro, and Avalanche also cameo as thieves who attack the monk. The Tortoise and the Eagle with Professor X as the Tortoise and Magneto as the Eagle. A story in the style of Grimm with Cyclops as a blind man who awakens a Phoenix princess, and Wolverine as a butcher who has encountered her before. Spider-Man Fairy Tales (2007 Marvel) comic books.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, lived the Parkers - a noble family renowned for their bravery, honour, and loyalty. In a battle to protect the borders of the Kingdom, both Benjamin and Richard Parker fell in battle, but not before Richard asked Norman Osborn to take care of Peter. Years later Peter has become a skilled fighter, although he was charged mainly with keeping the house clean for Norman and Harry Osborn. Mary Jane is employed by Norman as a maid, and when Norman threatened to fire her if she did not clean his armour properly, Peter steps in and helps her out. Mary Jane tells Peter why the armour must be cleaned - King George is holding a ball to find a suitable knight to marry Princess Gwendolyn. Peter asks Mary Jane to help him sneak into the castle, but she refuses, saying she is in enough trouble already. At the tomb of Benjamin and Richard Parker, Peter decides he will attend the ball to win Gwendolyn's hand in marriage and intends to build his own suit of armour. Taking inspiration from a spider in the tomb, Peter secretly works on a suit of armour, painting it red with web patterns. On the night of the ball, Norman Osborn orders Peter to stay behind to clean the house before he gets back. Mary Jane offers to cover for Peter and tells him to enjoy the night. At the palace, Princess Gwendolyn is unimpressed by the gathered crowd of knights, telling her father true love would not walk through the door. Peter arrives late, with the staff introducing him as "The Prince of Arachne". Peter catches Princess Gwendolyn's eye and when she asks to remove his helmet, Peter replies he would not show any woman his face without first having danced with them. Peter and Gwen talk about each other and a strong bond forms between them. As Gwen offers to marry Peter, she tells him they have been dancing for hours and that the bell signalled midnight. Peter realises he must return home, and as he runs off, Gwen pulls off one of his webbed brassard while begging him not to go. Norman and Harry discuss the 'Spider-Prince', and they decide to find him, kill him, and have Harry assume his identity. While cleaning Peter's room, Mary Jane pulls the sheets off his bed and discovers his armour. She tells Peter to explain this to Princess Gwendolyn, but Peter insists they dispose of the armour. Harry interrupts and takes the other brassard at knife point. Mary Jane tells Peter to take a horse and arrive there to explain himself. When Norman and Harry arrive they find out Peter has been chosen as Prince, and that King George did not intend to deny Gwen's choice of husband. Furious, Norman attacks and is stopped by Peter. Norman cuts the rope holding up the chandelier directly over Peter's head. Gwen pushes him out of the way, but in turn is hit by the chandelier and killed. Peter strikes Norman down, and as Harry is taken away, he swears vengeance on Peter. After a long period of mourning, Peter is accepted by the people as their Prince and he is knighted. Although the Parker name is once again well known, nothing could fill the hole left by Gwendolyn's death. However the love of Gwendolyn was not the only thing Peter lost that day: Mary Jane is seen lying in bed weeping for Peter's return. Marvel Fairy Tales by C.B. Cebulski.

Summary (from goodreads): My Thoughts: This is my very first graphic novel I have ever read. I had to read a graphic novel for a class I'm taking. The reason I chose this one was that my library owned a copy and I wanted to do something with fairy tales. I found this one. I do think I would enjoy this novel more if I was familar with the Marvel characters, but I will explain more of that below. I kind of see this novel as a collection of short stories since each fairy tale is about 23-25 pages long. Sometimes I think that is too short, but in other stories I was okay with the length. I will put my personal feelings about each fairy tale below. Peter Pan is the first short story in this graphic novel and as you all know I have been in a Peter Pan mood lately since reading the classic novel so I was glad to see the story in there.
