New Releases by Matthew Sturges

Kings of Earth and Sky finale! Jack Frost has finally come face to face with the Empyrean, but it''s clear that someone somewhere along the way has been lying about what this is all about!

We catch up with each and every character that has ever appeared in JACK OF FABLES, and if they''re dead, we''ll even show you the corpse. And that''s a promise you can take to the bank.

Turning Pages part 1! An egg will explode and a little blue pig will pontificate on weighty matters while wearing a brassiere on his head! Just another typical chapter in the life of Jack of the Tales. In this issue, however, we learn a bit more about the lovely young librarian Robin Page.

Captive Fables, divided into dozens of four-man escape teams, have scattered to the four winds, throwing the evil librarians of the Golden Boughs Retirement Village into chaos. But before Jack can lead his escape team to safety he first has to defeat the persuing Bagmen in single, unarmed combat. Here''s the problem though: no one has ever defeated a Bagman in single unarmed combat!

Jack Frost and his stalwart owl companion MacDuff take to the skies as Jack''s quest to save a kingdom from the vicious Empyrean nears its conclusion! "Kings of Earth and Sky" part 4.

In "The Books of War" part 1, Jack has returned to the Golden Boughs not as a prisoner, but as its Commander in Chief! It''s the beginning of an all-new storyline in which lives will be lost and pigs will appear magically!

The latest Jack epic continues with the Siege of the Golden Boughs--Bookburner''s army storms the gates and the fight begins in earnest! "The Books of War" part 2.

Jack''s sidekick Gary--the Pathetic Fallacy--takes center stage in the Golden Boughs Theatrical Society''s production of Hamlet! With Alice as Ophelia, a pair of squash rackets as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Wicked John as Laertes! But who''s using the play as cover for an escape attempt?

The Books of War part 5! The latest epic by Bill Willingham and Matthewhew Sturges comes to a close in a shocking ending that leads directly into "The Great Fables Crossover Event" between JACK OF FABLES, FABLES and LITERALS!

Jack has landed in Las Vegas and even Sin City isn''t prepared for him--especially not when the Pathetic Fallacy is his new sidekick. Then again, Jack has a lovely--and filthy rich--new bride who seems determined to see him settle down. And Jack seems content to let her try. "Jack of Hearts" Part 2.

Final issue! Does Jack Frost slay Jack Dragon? Does Jack Dragon eat his own kid? Will the Page Sisters rebuild the Great Library? Will Gary finally get to sing a show tune on Broadway? It''s extra pages, extra action, extra drama, and extra Babe, the Miniature Blue Ox!

Before we got sidetracked in Vegas, Jack was reminiscing about "Jack Frost" (remember issue #6?). Jack had the powers of the Snow Queen to do with as he would. His only job now is to deliver winter to the next kingdom over in a timely manner, while the Snow Queen continues to suffer from her mysterious illness. Can anything possibly go right?

The New Adventures of Jack and Jack finishes as Jack Frost continues to learn the hero trade while Jack Horner finally learns why he''s been getting so fat and ugly. Weirdly enough, that''s all we can possibly tell you about this issue and still retain some bit of surprise.
