Fables

WINNER OF FOURTEEN EISNER AWARDS. As the free Fables struggle to regroup following the destruction of their New York City stronghold, they are suddenly faced with a new menace–one who threatens not only their adopted planet, but all of reality itself! Against such terrible power, can even the combined abilities of these legendary storybook heroes prevail? Only one thing is certain: Once battle is joined, the world of Fables will never be the same! All nine issues of the long-awaited crossover between Vertigo's two popular series FABLES and JACK OF FABLES are collected in this volume: FABLES issues #83-85, JACK OF FABLES issues #33-35, and THE LITERALS issues #1-3.

Imagine that all the characters from the world's most beloved storybooks were real - real, and living among us, with all of their powers intact. How would they cope with life in our mundane, un-magical reality?

Don't miss this stunning original hardcover collection written by FABLES creator Bill Willingham set in the early days of Fabletown, long before the FABLES series began! Featuring sequences illustrated by Charles Vess, Brian Bolland, John Bolton, Michael Wm. Kaluta, James Jean, Mark Buckingham, Jill Thompson and more, 1,001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL is both an entry point to the critically acclaimed series and an essential part of Willingham's enchanting and imaginative FABLES mythos.Traveling in Arabia as an Ambassador from the exiled FABLES community, Snow White is captured by the local sultan who wants to marry her (and then kill her). But the clever Snow attempts to charm the sultan instead by playing Scheherazade, telling him fantastic stories for a total of 1,001 nights. Running the gamut from horror to dark intrigue to mercurial coming-of-age, FABLES:1,001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL reveals the secret histories of familiar FABLES characters through a series of compelling and visually illustrative tales.

is a comic book series created by writer Bill Willingham, published by DC Comics's Vertigo imprint beginning in 2002. The series deals with various characters from fairy tales and folklore--referring to themselves as "Fables"--who have been forced out of their Homelands by "The Adversary" who has conquered the realm. The Fables have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate New York. Willingham reinterprets the characters and infuses his tales with elements current and relevant to our times. As of last year Fables has won 12 Eisner Awards, and the artists involved an additional 13 more, making it the most awarded among current book titles. IGN calls it the best comic book currently being produced. Its reviewer Jesse Schedeen says of Issue #14: "...the core series is extremely engrossing and as exciting as it's ever been. Issue #88 was one of the best I've read in a long time, and issue #89 is even better still." He gives issue #14 an Outstanding 9.1 rating and an Editors' Choice Award.
