Fables #99

From Vertigo's acclaimed fairy-tale-meets-noir series, Fables #99 arrives in December 2010 with a hauntingly beautiful cover by Joao Ruas that demands a second look. A gaunt, pale figure dominates the composition — yellow-eyed and unsettling — clutching a tiny human form in one hand while a dark cat lurks above amid swirling skulls and shadows. Below, a crimson-hued mass of struggling figures churns like a fever dream, hinting at conflict and chaos on a grand scale. Writer Bill Willingham and artist Inaki Miranda bring you "Dark City," the penultimate chapter before this landmark series reaches its 100th issue.
