Fables #113

Vertigo's Fables #113 arrives in March 2012 with a cover by Joao Ruas that is pure quiet enchantment — a weathered toad gazes skyward as a delicate insect perches on its nose, while above them floats a teacup cradling an entire coastal world of sailing ships and clifftop settlements. The story title "In Those Days" drifts across the image in elegant script, perfectly capturing the series' gift for finding myth in the small and the strange. With Willingham, Leonardi, Randall, and a full creative team on board, this is the kind of issue that reminds you why Fables has always felt like something genuinely apart from the rest of the shelf.
