Vertigo Releases Details of Willingham's FABLES #100

Fables is one of my favorite comics.  I have read every issue of Fables as well as it's spin-offs, one shots, etc.  As you can imagine, I am very excited for the release of this very special issue for many reasons.  Frau Totenkinder  vs. Mister Dark.  Rose Red vs. Gepetto.  Ozma vs. Totenkinder.

Today, Vertigo has released some details on the big 100th anniversary issue of their long-running Fables series

In this fantastic 100-page issue, it's time to put an end to Mister Dark once and for all, and time for the Fables to return home to Fabletown. For that to happen, one of the Fables agrees to take on the Dark Man in single combat! It's big, it's epic, and if you live in New York City, you may want to take a quick vacation when this issue comes out, because things are going to get wrecked!

In addition to the larger-than-life main story, we have a FABLES prose story written by Mark Buckingham and illustrated by Bill Willingham! We have an All-Star Burning Questions section that will knock your socks off (seriously, innocent people are going to lose some socks here). We have a puppet theatre created by the unstoppably creative Mark Buckingham, a FABLES board game, sequential stories painted by Chrissie Zullo and Joao Ruas, and even more surprises in this square-bound behemoth celebrating this award-winning Vertigo series!

Also in this issue are:
• A set of do-it-yourself Fables puppet theater illustrated by Mark Buckingham
• A three-page story written by Willingham with art by Cinderella artist Chrissie Zullo
• A three-page story written by Willingham with art by Joao Ruas
• A two-page Fables board game, illustrated by Buckingham, with game rules by Willingham
• Four celebrity “Burning Questions” stories, all written by Willingham, featuring questions from some of your favorite actors who are also FABLES fans! These “Burning Questions” are illustrated by top-flight artists including Adam Hughes, J.H. Williams III and Dave Johnson.

Fables #100 is scheduled to arrive in stores on December 8!

Sexy CINDERELLA: Returns in New FABLES Spin-Off

It's no secret I love Fables and Jack of Fables.  They're two my favorite books.  I've read the series numerous times and anxiously wait each month's new release.

Last year when Chris Roberson released the special mini-series entitled, Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love I immediately fell in love with the book.  I really fell in love with Chrissie Zullo's covers of Cinderella.  She made Cindy look so damn sexy!  The story was excellent and I craved more once it was ended. 

Hallelujah!! My prayers have been answered!  The sexy, smart, tough, fashion-conscious spy is back in February with another story of espionage and action.

Cinderella: Fables are Forever, a spin-off from the hit Vertigo series Fables, reunites the same creative team as last time, with i, Zombie's Chris Roberson writing and Shawn McManus drawing. Chrissie Zullo is also back doing covers.

And this time, the story will be tied to what's going on in the main Fables title.

Newsarama has a interview with Chris Roberson abvout this project and other items he is currently working on for DC.

Vertigo Comics Fables TV Ad on BBC America

Gfest loves Bill Wilingham's Fables.  Gfest has read every single issue of all Fables, Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall, Jack of Fables, Great Fables Crossover, Peter & Max, and Cinderella From Fabletown with Love.  When we stumbled upon this television ad for Fables it was extremely exciting.  Gfest had never seen a bona fide television commercial for a graphic novel.  Have you?
