By Mike Jackson for CVG UK

Screenshots of Fables: The Wold Among Us have emerged online, offering your first glimpse of the game's stylised comic book visuals.

Based in the DC Comics' Fables universe, the Wolf Among Us takes place prior to Bill Willingham's award-winning series and casts players as Bigby Wolf (Big Bad Wolf), who has been exiled to New York from the land of the fable homelands.

Here's the official blurb:

"Set prior to the events seen in the first issue of the Fables comic book series, The Wolf Among Us puts players in the role of Bigby Wolf, a man once more infamously known as 'The Big Bad Wolf'. Now the sheriff of a hidden community in New York City, exiled from the land of fairy tales, Bigby is tasked by the bureaucrat Snow White to keep order within a society of mythical creatures and characters trying to remain undetected in the world of the mundane.

"From a chain-smoking member of 'The Three Little Pigs', to a car-stealing Mr. Toad itching for his next wild ride, The Wolf Among Us examines the lives of beings straight from the pages of myth and lore, now trying to survive on the meanest and most run-down streets of New York City."
