Fables #115

A young girl in a vivid red coat stands alone at the center of this haunting cover by Joao Ruas, a halo-like radiance surrounding her head as she gazes toward a distant, storm-grey castle. Scattered around her feet is a wasteland of broken toys — dismembered dolls, crushed playthings — rendered in stark monochrome that makes her scarlet figure all the more striking. Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, and the rest of the creative team bring their considerable craft to "Cubs in Toyland," and this second chapter promises the eerie, fairy-tale-gone-wrong atmosphere that has made Fables such a compelling series.
