Los Angeles debuts in Fables #34 — "Jack Be Nimble: Part One of Two" and is a major American city in the mundane world.
History
In November 1946, Bigby Wolf travelled to Los Angeles after discovering Beauty had turned into her original form of Lamia, who had taken on the identity of the real Beauty long before leaving the Homelands. Every few decades Beauty turned back into Lamia and went onto a killing spree targeting mostly rapists and criminals and forcing her husband Beast to track her down and incarcerate her. An angry Bigby confronted Beast outside at the Art Buck Motor Lodge where an amnesiac Beauty was recovering and threatened Beast if he didn't deal with the matter of Lamia permanently he would — even if it means killing Beast as well.[3]
Decades later, Jack Horner, with Jill in tow, headed for Hollywood, where he uses his stolen wealth to set up a new studio called Nimble Pictures, taking the alias of John Trick. His principal aim is to shoot a trilogy of films about himself, which he feels will increase his popularity among the mundanes, making him more powerful.[1] He stays in Hollywood for around five years, until Jill, fed up with his treatment of her, manages to call Fabletown and ask them for help. Fabletown engineers a takeover of Nimble Pictures, and Beast comes to Hollywood where he explains to Jack that the Fabletown authorities want Jack's head. Beast, however, dislikes bloodshed and forces Jack to leave with just a small amount of his money with him.[2]
