The FABLES ENCYCLOPEDIA will be a Deluxe Edition hardcover volume devoted to the characters you’ve grown to love in Bill Willingham’s FABLES mythos. Compiled by noted scholar Jess Nevins, each entry will include the character’s historical origin and Fables reinvention as well as first appearances and whimsical anecdotes from creator Bill Willingham and regular series artist Mark Buckingham.
