New Releases by Bill Willingham

Led by Snow White, a reformed Big Bad Wolf, and a host of others, the secret community of Fabletown is adjusting to life among the "mundanes." But this is no fairy tale, and when Snow White''s estranged sister, Rose Red, goes missing--her apartment a grisly, bloody scene--it''s up to her sister and Mr. Wolf to find the culprit. But the question remains, will they find Rose alive and intact, or will the cryptic message on her wall come true: "No More Happily Ever After"?

Bufkin and Lily''s heroic adventures are too big to contain in 3-page features, so this special full-issue epic will take us to the grand finale of our favorite flying monkey''s greatest adventure, co-starring his sometimes-girlfriend Lily with guest art by painter extraordinaire Shawn McManus!

In part 1 of a 2-part FABLES caper, Bigby has to keep an eye on Sleeping Beauty''s pinprick narcolepsy from getting out of hand and threatening Fabletown. As if that weren''t enough, Bigby must also deal with a sleazy reporter intent on exposing the secret society of exiled fairy tale characters.

Rose Red''s body has been found, and the identity of her murderer has been revealed. Now Bigby Wolf, Fabletown''s sheriff, shows us how he put the clues together to solve the foul crime. Also, Prince Charming has auctioned off his royal title and gets his first taste of his life to come...as a penniless nobody.

As the denizens of Fabletown choose sides, Snow White and Rose Red prepare for the battle of their lives. "Happily Ever After" part 2.

What do a devious Celtic beauty, a deadly white flute, a tiny gold harp and two green Scottish dogs have in common? Find out in the conclusion of "The Boys in the Band."

Bigby Wolf, Fabletown''s one-man police force, interrogates some shady suspects for Rose Red''s probable murder--including Bluebeard, a known ladykiller...literally. Snow White reveals the salacious act that destroyed not only her marriage but her relationship with her sister. And penniless philanderer Prince Charming decides to sell his royal title over the Internet.

Geppetto''s conference of imperial leaders continues in the Homelands as they discuss the ultimate fate of Fabletown. The Nome King wants war, Prince Hansel wants reprisals, and the Snow Queen wants a program of assassination. Will anyone argue for diplomacy? Plus, a backup story by Joshua Middleton!

Geppetto is up to his naughty tricks in a stand-alone story that fills in the gaps of an event that happened in Fabletown long ago.

At long last Rose Red learns the truth about her mother, her sister and herself. This is why they''re so magical. This is why all of that wild magic is affecting their lives now. And this is why one will ultimately have to kill the other. Apparently that''s what siblings in this family do. Plus: Terry Moore illustrates the backup feature, "The Last Story of Beauty and the Beast."

The Boys in the Band part 1! Why are Peter Piper, Joe Shepherd, Puss in Boots and Briar Rose all on their way to Scotland? When Danny Boy shows up at the Farm to tell Seamus it''s time to return home, the group sets off on their journey across the ocean.

A special 100-page anniversary issue! It''s time to put an end to Mister Dark once and for all, and time for the Fables to return home to Fabletown. For that to happen, one of the Fables agrees to take on the Dark Man in single combat! Plus, a prose story written by Mark Buckingham and illustrated by Bill Willingham, a FABLES board game and much, much more!

Fires rage as Snow White''s makeshift Fable army shows its battle scars. But as lifeless bodies lie scattered in the streets, one witch''s deadly battle begins far above the carnage. A storm is brewing, but what it leaves in its wake may be worse than lost loved ones...

It''s a typical day back in the world from which the inhabitants of Fabletown escaped, full of war and tyranny, not to mention taxes. But in the midst of all the conquering and the slaying comes a mysterious masked man on a quest to find his lost love in part 1 of "Homelands."

In the finale to "Jack Be Nimble," Jack continues riding the Hollywood high of his new slickster lifestyle, losing sight of the enemies he''s made along the way. And the one thing you can count on in Tinseltown is that there''s always someone waiting for you to fall.

Rose Red isn''t happy. She''s pretty sure she''s going to kill her sister, who she sometimes loves, sometimes hates, and sometimes both. It''s complicated.

The Great Fables Crossover part 1! After the events of the previous arc, the Fables formerly of Fabletown hope for a brief reprieve from the coming darkness--and instead collide with another threat that may wipe out their entire existence! Continued in JACK OF FABLES #33.

The official charter of Fabletown laws holds little the government as a whole can do to interfere in family matters. Mostly this is a good thing. Once in a great while--like in this issue, for instance--it isn''t. "Snow White" part 2.

The mystery of her sister''s murder has been solved, and the guilty parties have been punished. This leaves Fabletown''s Deputy Mayor Snow White physically exhausted, spiritually drained, and in need of a big rest. So she decides to personally drive one errant Colin Piggy back up to the Farm, the remote upstate annex where the non-human Fables reside. But rest and relaxation will have to wait for our heroine. Something wicked is brewing in upstate New York and Snow White''s untimely arrival lands her in the thick of it.

Up at the Farm, things are getting dicey as the witches try one thing after another to deal with Mister Dark, only to be frustrated, halted and defeated at every turn. Meanwhile, the struggle for political power heats up as the scared Fables turn to the only one among them who''s defeated Mister Dark in the past. "Witches" part 3.

A new storyline of espionage ignites when a hooded stranger comes to Fabletown asking a lot of questions. Meanwhile, Pinocchio is in over his head, Boy Blue is in for the shock of his life, and Snow White goes incognito...sort of, in "March of the Wooden Soldiers."

1883 part 1! 1883 was the year in which the scrofulous outlaw known as "Smiling Jack Candle" and his gang of desperadoes roamed the Western Territories, robbing and pillaging as they went. None durst stand up to the miscreant, until the day that a grim-countenanced stranger rode out to face him down.
