Fables #136

A red-haired warrior woman in ornate rose-etched plate armor bows her head in quiet reflection, clutching both a gleaming broadsword and a single red rose as petals drift away on the warm golden air — it's a cover image of real emotional weight from Daniel Dos Santos. Fables #136 arrives as part of the "Camelot" arc, with Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, and Russ Braun steering the series through its fifth chapter of that ambitious storyline. The imagery of armor, sword, and flower perfectly captures the tension between strength and tenderness that has kept Vertigo's beloved series so compelling well into its run.
