Fables #143

Fables #143 arrives in 2014 with one of the series' most quietly haunting covers — a thorned sword bearing a skull-faced rose at its tip, with two delicate locket-portraits hanging from the crossguard, all set against a repeating field of red-circled Fables logos. Nimit Malavia's cover art balances elegance and mortality in a way that feels entirely fitting for "Happily Ever After Part Three: The Last Story of Babe." With Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham continuing their long run on the series, this chapter of the closing arc carries real weight for anyone who has followed these exiled fairytale characters through the years.
