About the series
In this three-issue DC miniseries from 2009, writers Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges, alongside artist Mark Buckingham, explore the metafictional heart of the Fables universe. The Literals are the living embodiments of narrative tropes and genres, whose existence threatens the very fabric of storytelling itself. A clever, self-aware spin on the Fables mythos, this series matters for its playful examination of how stories shape reality.
