Jack has had a very interesting existence.
He’s been known by many names — Jack Horner, Jack B. Nimble, Jack The Giant Killer — and, in case you don’t recognize any of those aliases, had some fantastic adventures.
It’s safe to say he’s a household name.
So it’s no surprise that a man like Jack has got his share of enemies, people like the mysterious Mr. Revise, who captures the man of fables and locks him away at the Golden Boughs Retirement Home, where legends go to be forgotten.
Nobody’s ever escaped from Golden Boughs, just the kind of challenge Jack loves.
Spinning out from the pages of the critically acclaimed Vertigo series Fables, this new book — written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges and illustrated by Tony Atkins and Andrew Pepoy — is sharp, quick-paced fun-to-read stuff that is sure to impress whether you’re a Fables fan or not.
