Fables: The Deluxe Edition Book Five

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

The answer can be found in FABLES, Bill Willingham's celebrated reimagining of the venerable fairy tale canon. From Smow White and the Big Bad Wolf to Goldilocks and Little Boy Blue, the folk tales of old are reborn here as exiles living in the magically camouflaged New York City neighbourhood of Fabletown.

Acclaimed by critics and readers alike, these modern classics of comic book storytelling are now collected for the first time in a series of beautifull hardcover volumes. Fables: The Deluxe Edition Book Five collects the classic storylines "Jack Be Nimble", "Homelands" and "Arabian Nights (and Days)" from issues 34-45 of the award-winning Vertigo series, and includes a new introduction by writer and Willingham collaborator Matthew Sturges as well as a special sketchbook section by series artist Mark Buckingham.
