Fables #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis seventh volume of Bill Willingham's acclaimed series collects issues #42–47, plunging the Fables community into a diplomatic crisis when the isolated Arabian Fables—led by the enigmatic Sinbad—demand representation in the Fabletown government. As tensions escalate between the Western and Eastern factions, Bigby Wolf and Snow White navigate political intrigue, while a mysterious threat from the Homelands looms. The collection also includes a standalone story focusing on the Frog Prince's quest for a kiss to break his curse.
In "Broken English Chapter One of Arabian Nights (and Days)," the arrival of the Arabians throws Fabletown into a whirlwind of cultural collision and miscommunication, where every word is a potential misunderstanding. Prince Charming quickly learns that leading a community of displaced fairy tale characters is far less glamorous than he’d imagined—especially when the language barrier turns even the simplest tasks into high-stakes diplomacy.
In "D'Jinn & Tonic with a Twist Chapter Two of Arabian Nights (and Days)," the fragile peace between Fabletown and the Arabians begins to fray when rumors swirl about a d’jinn brought from Baghdad. Tensions rise as Yusuf, fearing Sinbad has been enchanted, unleashes the spirit and makes three dangerous wishes that threaten both Baghdad and the fledgling Fabletown community.
In "Back to Baghdad Chapter Three of Arabian Nights (and Days)," the Fables brace for an escalating conflict with the Arabian Fables after the d’jinn’s release sets a deadly mission in motion. As tensions rise, Frau Totenkinder unveils a cunning plan that catches even the cleverest minds off guard.
In "Act of War Chapter Four of Arabian Nights (and Days)," Sinbad, having been cleared of conspiracy, chooses to align himself with Fabletown’s ideals by establishing a new Fabletown in Baghdad. With his slaves now free—some choosing to stay behind—he begins building a new order under Fabletown’s laws, supported by King Cole as a liaison between the two communities.
In the midst of a forgotten war, a wounded wooden soldier finds himself drawn to the camp’s quiet woodcarver, a delicate wooden maiden whose hands shape beauty from splinters. As their bond deepens, a letter to his father—meant to ask for her hand—unravels a chain of fate neither could have foreseen.
In "The Ballad of Rodney and June Chapter Two," the beloved wooden couple sets out to fulfill their deepest wish, seeking Geppetto’s blessing to become human. Their dream comes true—married and expecting, their joy is tempered by a solemn duty: to journey to the Mundy world and serve as spies for Fabletown, a bond that may last beyond their lifetimes.
