Fables Vol. 12: The Dark Ages SC

Written by Bill Willingham Artist by Mark Buckingham, Mike Allred, Andrew Pepoy, Peter Gross and David Hahn Cover by James Jean The 12th volume in the best-selling, award-winning FABLES series collects the epic from issues #76-82 of the acclaimed monthly series. If you've ever craved a guided tour of Fabletown's secret Manhattan location, prepare to be thrilled. Pinocchio has a field day taking a certain VIP around the city. And exactly which Fabletown denizens are no longer active (dead, alive or otherwise) just might shock you into a comic book coma. Also in this volume, you'll find the 4-part story featuring Freddy and Mouse, two local rogues who just want to get along and perhaps turn a bit of profit in the post-war, topsy-turvy world. Meanwhile, in Fabletown, a new political group forms called the Society of Seconds, and what they want doesn't seem very reasonable at all. Advance-solicited; on sale August 12. 192 pages. Full Color. MATURE READERS.
