Fables Vol. 7: Arabian Nights (and Days): Arabian Nights (And Days) - Vol 07 (Vertigo S., #1) (Fables)

by Bill Willingham

Mark Buckingham (Illustrator)

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.

Such an amazing series!

The Fables series never appealed to me because of the artwork on the covers. It simply didn't draw me in. Now I finished Legends in Exile, I can corroborate what everyone is saying - Fables is a damn good comic.

Legends in Exile centers around a murder mystery - Rose Red is gone, and her apartment is smeared with blood. Bigsby and Snow White grudgingly have to work together to find out what the fate is of Snow's sister.

Not only is the fairy-tale-in-modern-city setting very well done, the writing is absolutely fantastic and the art aesthetically pleasing. A very satisfying first arc. Lucky for me, there are many more to go.

I really love the concept of Fables, the Fabletown community (all characters from different fairy tales) living in New York. The Big Bad Wolf is a hard-boiled detective that is on the case to find out who killed Rose, Snow White’s sister. While the art has a real 80’s feel to it, it is the story telling that makes this a great graphic novel. I expect to be reading a lot more from this series.
