Fairest #5

This French-language edition from Urban Comics collects stories by Mark Buckingham, Bill Willingham, and Russ Braun under Adam Hughes's charming cover, which features a young woman in a sun hat crouching among ripe pumpkins on a farm, clutching a garden trowel with a look of startled urgency. Hughes's warm, painterly linework gives the rural scene an almost retro-pulp warmth that feels both grounded and quietly tense. Fairest Tome 5 — Des Trompe-l'œil Pour Tous — promises a collection where everyday settings and Fables-world characters prove nothing is quite as innocent as it appears.
