“Jiminy Christmas-- Chapter One December 22nd, 1956”

From Vertigo's mature-readers fantasy series comes this striking February 2007 issue, with a cover by James Jean that transforms a familiar holiday figure into something wonderfully unsettling — a harried Santa Claus clutches his red sack while a swarming mass of armored, monstrous creatures surges behind him, holiday ornaments dangling ominously nearby. It's a beautifully painted image that captures the Fables spirit perfectly: fairy-tale iconography pushed just slightly off its comfortable axis. With Bill Willingham writing and Mark Buckingham on interior art, this issue promises the series' signature blend of the mythic and the unexpected.
