All I can say is WOW!

And here's a preliminary cover for JACK OF FABLES #50:

Wonder if this'll be happily every after?

Now, we all know that Fables already have magical powers and use them, well, in their own clothes. So why has Pinocchio suddenly got it in his head that he needs to design tight fitting costumes for a carefully selected team of Fables? In fact, why was the little brat caught looking over his own comic book collection, mumbling things like, “We can call him Werewolf Man, and he can be the Golden Knight, and she can be called The Green Witch?”

Check out the cover of FABLES #102, the beginning of a 5-part story called “Super Group!”:

Look for them in February!

FABLES . . . after Cindy

Tue, 12/08/2009 - 7:00am | DCE Editorial

In 2009, you traveled to the Black Forest and were exposed to the power of Frost and Fire with PETER & MAX, learned more about the witches of the 13th floor in FABLES, followed Jack Frost as he learns the hero trade in JACK OF FABLES, and have embarked on a spy mission worthy of 007 with Cindy in CINDERELLA: From Fabletown With Love.

Today's question is: who is the next FABLES character you’d like to see have his/her own miniseries?

Behind-The-Scenes with Brian Bolland

Fri, 08/28/2009 - 7:00am | DCE Editorial

People (well, especially people non artistically inclined like myself), are often curious as to how the artist got from a blank sheet of paper to the finished product. Well, GRAPHIC CONTENT is happy to bring you behind-the-scenes of Brian Bolland's cover to JACK OF FABLES #39.

What started as a pencil sketch, gets inked, added to, more detailed and brought to life with color. Simple, right?
