Fables Compendium #2
In "Broken English, Chapter One of Arabian Nights (and Days)," Sinbad, having acted independently, is spared execution by Fabletown forces and instead agrees to uphold Fabletown’s laws in a new settlement in Baghdad. With his slaves freed—some choosing to remain, others returning to their old lives—Sinbad begins building a new order, aided by King Cole as a liaison between the two communities. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, with inks by Steve Leialoha and Andrew Pepoy, colors by Daniel Vozzo, and letters by Todd Klein, the cover by Mark Buckingham captures the story’s rich, mythic tone.
