The Stuff of Legend #3

Continuing the New York Times bestselling series, The Stuff of Legend Book 3: A Jester's Tale arrives in 2012 with Charles Paul Wilson III's hauntingly beautiful cover — a dynamic, battle-ready jester figure rendered in rich sepia tones, checkered costume and blades at the ready, leaping from what looks like an aged parchment backdrop. Writers Mike Raicht and Brian Smith open this volume with "Chapter 1: An Unlikely Pair," promising the kind of dark, imaginative storytelling that has made this series so compelling. Wilson III's art, inked by his own hand, gives every page a distinctive storybook-gone-sinister quality that sets The Stuff of Legend apart from anything else on the shelf.
