OLTRE LE COLLINE, IN UN LUOGO LONTANO... Gli abitanti di Favolandia hanno sconfitto il temibile esercito dell’Avversario e una rappresaglia è ormai imminente. Jack dei Racconti non sembra però interessato a ciò che accade a New York e ha deciso di trasferirsi a Hollywood, mentre Boy Blue si è recato nelle Terre Natie alla ricerca del suo amore perduto. Nel frattempo, cosa sta succedendo fra le fiabe rimaste nella Grande Mela? E come mai Mowgli sta per tornare in America? Bill Willingham e Mark Buckingham, affiancati da David Hahn, Steve Leialoha, Lan Medina e Dan Green, ci presentano il sesto arco narrativo di Fables, la serie che all’inizio degli anni Duemila ha reinventato i personaggi delle fiabe per il pubblico contemporaneo. [VOLUME 6. CONTIENE: FABLES (2002) 34-41]

TRENTA TEAM ARTISTICI, UN SOLO SUPERMAN! Sconfitto, piegato, torturato. Non importa quale situazione impossibile debba fronteggiare, Superman troverà sempre un modo per rialzarsi e salvare quante più persone possibile. Perché le origini kryptoniane di Kal-El potranno anche avergli fornito poteri straordinari, ma è stata la sua infanzia a Smallville e la sua vita lavorativa al Daily Planet ad aver dato a Clark Kent i valori per cui vivere ogni giorno e da trasmettere a chiunque lo incontri! Trenta team artistici di primo livello affrontano il mito di Superman in altrettante storie brevi illustrate utilizzando quasi esclusivamente i due colori che contraddistinguono l’Uomo d’Acciaio: il rosso e il blu. Il risultato è un volume straordinario, adatto a qualunque genere di lettore e capace di descrivere alla perfezione un’icona dei comics! [VOLUME UNICO. CONTIENE: SUPERMAN: RED AND BLUE (2021) 1-6]

IN TRINCEA! Da secoli i personaggi delle fiabe sorvegliano i portali che collegano il nostro mondo alle loro Terre Natie ormai perdute, pronti a cogliere qualsiasi segno di invasione. La situazione è da sempre molto tranquilla, ma le cose stanno per cambiare. Uno dei prigionieri dell’Avversario è riuscito a scappare ed è pronto a recarsi a Favolandia per trovare rifugio... ma se le apparenze, come talvolta succede, ingannassero? Quali sono le vere intenzioni del fuggiasco? La sopravvivenza stessa di Favolandia è a rischio e una tremenda battaglia potrebbe essere alle porte. Le fiabe saranno in grado di vincerla? Bill Willingham e Mark Buckingham, affiancati per l’occasione da Craig Hamilton e P. Craig Russell, ci presentano l’emozionante quarto arco narrativo di Fables, la serie che ha reinventato in maniera stupefacente i personaggi delle fiabe e il loro mondo. [VOLUME 4. CONTIENE: FABLES (2002) 19-21, 23-27, FABLES: THE LAST CASTLE (2003)]

UN LIETO FINE? PROBABILMENTE NO! A Favolandia il “vissero felici e contenti” non è poi un finale così frequente. I protagonisti delle fiabe, ormai da tempo, vivono in esilio a New York e sono stati costretti a scendere a compromessi con le difficoltà della vita reale. Questo non significa, però, che ogni tanto non ci sia spazio per il romanticismo... anche se stavolta la passione sta sbocciando fra due innamorati che non sembrano destinati a stare insieme. Questa strana coppia riuscirà a trovare un po’ di felicità o ciò che li attende... è solo la morte? Bill Willingham e Mark Buckingham, affiancati per l’occasione da Bryan Talbot e Linda Medley, ci presentano il terzo arco narrativo di Fables, la serie pluripremiata che ha reinventato in maniera sorprendente i personaggi delle fiabe e il loro mondo. [VOLUME 3. CONTIENE: FABLES (2002) 11-18]

From New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman and Eisner-award winning creator Mark Buckingham comes a graphic novel anthology of four essential fantasy stories.

The final volume of this most elegant of FABLES spin-offs is here! Rose Red reigns over a New Camelot, while Snow White hunts for the soul of her slain husband, Bigby Wolf. Yes, it’s a wild time for the Fables...the ones who look human, that is. Their four-legged, furry, finned, feathered and flowery fellows, however, are all stuck twiddling their appendages on the Farm—a fate that stinks worse than fertilizer. All except Reynard, of course. That wily fox has finagled his way into Rose Red’s service as one of New Camelot’s knights, complete with a glamour—a magic spell that enables him to take on human form at will. His tall tales of derring-do might be a lot of hot air, but they’re sparking a small-scale rebellion on the Farm as the cooped-up inhabitants agitate for glamours of their own. The answer can be found in THE CLAMOUR FOR GLAMOUR—collecting FAIREST #27-33 and lovingly crafted by Mark Buckingham, Bill Willingham, Russ Braun and Meghan Hetrick!
