Fables #145

Fables #145 wraps up its landmark run with "Happily Ever After Part Five — The Last Story of Cinderella," and this December 2014 issue opens with a clandestine meeting at Fabletown's newly reopened Yellow Brick Roadhouse, where two women — one dark-haired, one fair — exchange pointed words about secret missions, deniability, and adventures that definitely still happened. Nimit Malavia's cover art doubles as interior sequential storytelling, bathing the scene in moody blues and warm reds that perfectly capture the series' blend of fairy-tale atmosphere and spy-thriller tension.
