Fables Compendium 1

Product Information

Take old fairy tale characters in the public domain and thrust them into the modern world, and tell some more mature tales to boot. Lan Medina draws the opening sequence very nicely, and many other artists contribute single chapters or short stories, but it’s Buckingham’s open style that defines Fables. Most of the characters who appear in Fables are from European stories, the major exceptions being Arabian fables and American fables (from the fable world of "Americana", appearing in Jack of Fables, such as Paul Bunyan, Black Sambo [now known as Sam] and the Lone Ranger). This volume compiles everything missing from the first two volumes to complete the fables collection for any fan.

Fables is Bill Willingham’s phenomenally simple, yet brilliant idea of transferring the characters we all know from fairy tales and nursery rhymes to the real world of the early 21 st century. After proving himself in the '90s as a talent to watch while writing for DC Comics on The Authority, The Flash, and the UK comic 2000 AD he made his arrival at Marvel where he wrote Old Man Logan, the inspiration for the Logan movie and Civil War, Marvel's bestselling graphic novel of all time and the inspiration for Captain America: Civil War. Da sottolineare come i due contendenti nelle elezioni siano uno un inetto (Cole) e l'altro un bugiardo compulsivo (Charming): a occhio a Willingham non piaceva molto la situazione politica del proprio paese! While the concept is enticing, it needed the application of Willingham’s creativity and page-turning plots, and the phenomenal appeal of Mark Buckingham’s decorative art.

Prince Charming runs for Mayor of Fabletown while the community deals with the apparent escape from the Homelands of Red Riding Hood. The result is a 150-volume-spanning asthonishing work of art (drawings are really good, sometimes even comparable to potraits from an exibition), which also inspired many famous tv shows after it ("Once Upon a Time", to name the most prominent and bleak one). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

This collection takes on a life of its own, ending with the story "The Dark Ages"-taking place post-war-but if the Fables knew the consequences, they might not have gone to war at all.Fabletown and Beyond was a comic convention created and hosted by Willingham to showcase and appreciate comic books that fall under the genre of mythic fiction. Hi there, received my grim reaper tea light holder today and had to message you to say it's absolutely awesome! This is a series of comics that I had long heard about and desired to read, but which I didn't get around to until just recently.
