In the paper the comic, as a form of manifestation of the miraculous, is studied in short-story fairy tales, fairy tale anecdotes and fables. Represented in the comic framework confrontation undergoes a transformation from the existential to the social, representing the movement from the conflict between the social and the natural, the human and the supernatural to the social conflict itself, which is based on the idea of social justice. The most important semiotic means of actualization of the comic aspect of the supernatural in the English-language fairy tale discourse are signs of manipulative, auditive and esoteric codes.
