Fairest #1

Set in the lush world of Fables, this 2014 Urban Comics French edition of Fairest — "Le Grand Réveil" — opens with a striking cover by Adam Hughes depicting a young man in a white turban and open shirt, reclining pensively amid a circle of beautiful, jewel-adorned women rendered in warm golden tones. Hughes brings his signature painterly elegance to every figure, wrapping the scene in an atmosphere of opulence and quiet tension that feels pulled straight from an Arabian Nights fever dream. Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges's story promises a tale where the fairest of Fables characters take center stage — and this cover makes a compelling case for diving in.
