Fables #54
In "Sons of Empire Part Three: The Burning Times," the arrival of the Emperor's ambassador Hansel stirs unease in Fabletown, where his past shadows loom large—especially for Frau Totenkinder, the first witch he ever killed. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, with inks by Steve Leialoha and Andrew Pepoy, this issue deepens the tension with a story grounded in history, suspicion, and the weight of old wounds. The haunting cover by James Jean captures the mood perfectly.
In "Sons of Empire Part Three: The Burning Times," the arrival of the Emperor’s ambassador Hansel stirs unease in Fabletown, where his past shadows every interaction—especially for Frau Totenkinder, the first witch he ever killed. As tensions rise, the weight of history and hidden agendas begins to unravel beneath the surface of diplomatic pretense.
In "A Thorn in Their Side?" from Fables #54, Kevin Thorne moves through his daily routine with quiet focus, but beneath the surface, he’s quietly hunting for clues about the mysterious residents of Bullfinch Street and Kipling Street—two streets that hold more secrets than they let on.
