By (author) Bill Willingham; By (author) Willingham Bill; Illustrated by Buckingham, Mark
Description
Collecting issues #42-47 of writer Bill Willingham''s Eisner Award-winning creation, FABLES: ARABIAN NIGHTS (AND DAYS) opens a new front in the struggle between the Fables and the Adversary as the worlds of the Arabian Fables are invaded — leading to an unprecedented diplomatic mission to Fabletown and a bad case of culture shock! This seventh volume of the popular Vertigo series also includes “The Ballad of Rodney and June,” the 2-part story of forbidden love among the Adversary''s wooden soldiers, and features stellar art by Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, Jim Fern, Jimmy Palmiotti and Andrew Pepoy.
