Fables, Vol. 5

Graphic Novel Urban Fantasy Dark Fantasy

Description

The celebrated modern fairy-tale saga takes a surreal and often humorous turn as the residents of Fabletown confront the final dangers of the Mister Dark storyline. Alongside the larger, universe-threatening conflict, Bufkin—the former flying monkey—steps into the spotlight for an adventure of his own, while events in a mysterious sleeping city revive old legends and hint at ominous possibilities ahead. Blending folklore, sharp wit, political intrigue, and unexpected heroism, this volume expands the richly imagined world and deepens its memorable cast of exiled storybook characters. Bill Willingham’s inventive approach continues to transform familiar myths into sophisticated, unpredictable fantasy.
