I class Fantasy as anything set in a Fantasy World.

Unlike Comics set in the real world which we already know a lot about, Fantasy Comics need to educate us about a whole new world. How well they set it up and get it across can be crucial to their success.

Alice in the Country of Hearts

Now, this is an interesting idea. Take something popular - in this case, Alice in Wonderland - then move it completely into a different genre - in this case shojo manga. It has taken a bit of skill and the willingness to completely change a few of the original characters to pull this off in a new format, but amazingly this series has turned out really well.
