FABLES/BILL WILLINGHAM, continued

I continued to enjoy working on Fables a great deal, and it's amazing how far it's come, reaching 150 issues. Issue 50's extended wedding story was an especially good one, tying together lots of previous storylines, and bringing together the fan-favorite star couple in a very satisfying way.

And the Fables saga reached new heights in 2006 with the publication of the original graphic novel, FABLES: 1,001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL, with art by some of the industry's top talents, in a great story featuring Snow White in the role of Scheherezade, telling origin stories of familiar FABLES characters to an Arabian Nights ruler, including her own.

Also in 2006, a spinoff series began, JACK OF FABLES, featuring everyone's favorite trickster bad boy, Jack Horner (also known as Jack of the Tales), co-written by Matthew Sturges, with art by Tony Akins. Jack's misadventures were just as much fun as the main series, and this book has also proved to be popular.

I enjoyed working on this and other FABLES spinoffs, including FAIREST and two Cinderella mini-series, and was sad when Bill decided to stop writing them. But there's a new FABLES project in the works that I can't say much about at this time, except that it's just as good as ever!
