Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall

Bill Willingham

This volume was a great addition to the series.  While it doesn’t really fit in the middle of the volumes in any specific order, I highly recommend reading it just after The Good Prince. In these issues, we get to take a few peeks into the history of our favorite Fables like Fly, Snow White, King Cole and Bigby.

I enjoyed most of the art, which reached its peak (in my opinion) during Flycatcher’s tale.  It was just simply beautiful.  The issues are short, each ranging from a dozen or so pages to just one.  I think this is the volume’s greatest strength.  Instead of one big arc, we get to hop around and taste just a little of each beloved tale.  By the end of the last issue, readers get a sense of the tragedy that hit a lot of Fables before they were able to find sanctuary.  I highly recommend it to fans of the series.
