Fables #62

Part three of "The Good Prince" arc arrives in this August 2007 installment of Vertigo's beloved fairy-tale series, with a cover by James Jean that is quietly mesmerizing. A bearded man's face floats serenely beneath swirling water, eyes closed, surrounded by soft eddies of blue and grey with faint splashes of orange at the edges — an image that feels at once like a baptism, a dream, and something more ominous. With Willingham, Buckingham, and Pepoy at the helm, this "Knighthood" chapter promises the kind of thoughtful, myth-steeped storytelling that has made Fables such a distinctive corner of the DC universe.
