Bill Willingham Książki

W świecie Baśniowców nie ma zbyt wielu szczęśliwych zakończeń. Jako uchodźcy z ziem, które istnieją w naszych legendach i bajaniach, Baśniowcy zostali zmuszeni do opuszczenia bajkowych królestw i wtopienia się w naszą twardą, doczesną rzeczywistość. To jednak nie znaczy, że nie ma tam dla nich miejsca na romanse oraz ból, zdradę i wściekłą zazdrość, które idą z nimi w parze. W rzeczy samej, miłość może zakwitnąć nawet między dwoma pozornie najbardziej odległymi od siebie Baśniowcami. Czy jednak czeka ich szczęśliwa przyszłość, czy może szybka i przedwczesna śmierć?

Między armiami Adwersarza a wolnymi Baśniowcami zamieszkującymi doczesny świat tli się zarzewie wojny. Wszystko zależy teraz od niepozornego woźnego, zwanego Muchołapem. Książę Ambroży, jak go nazywano w szczęśliwszych czasach, został uwolniony od trwającego wieki traumatycznego zaniku pamięci i teraz stoi na początku długiej i trudnej drogi, która poprowadzi go poprzez krainy umarłych do samego serca świata wroga. Gdy już tam przybędzie, ten skromny bohater zostanie poddany największemu i najtrudniejszemu sprawdzianowi, a przyszłość Baśniogrodu i Stron Rodzinnych skryje mgła niepewności.

Od stuleci Baśniowcy strzegą wrót między naszym doczesnym światem, a ich utraconymi, magicznymi krainami. Trwają na posterunku, wypatrując najmniejszych ruchów na granicy. Po wielu dziesięcioleciach ciszy komuś udaje się zbiec z niewoli Adwersarza. W świecie Docześniaków zjawia się Czerwony Kapturek. Jak to zwykle bywa, na początku pozory mylą. Wkrótce jednak Baśniowcy uświadamiają sobie, że opowieść uciekinierki brzmi fałszywie. Cóż, skoro nawet najbardziej czujni i nieufni nie mają pojęcia, że plan całkowitego zniszczenia Baśniogrodu jest już gotowy.

Nagroda EISNERA w 2009 roku! Po zwycięskiej bitwie o Baśniogród i utrzymaniu swojego istnienia w tajemnicy przed mieszkańcami Nowego Jorku, Baśniowcy mogą poświęcić trochę czasu na odbudowę miasta i refleksję. Wszystko to w przerwach między kolejnymi przesłuchaniami agentki Adwersarza i w atmosferze oczekiwania na narodzenie dziecka Królewny Śnieżki. Dla Bigby'ego Wilka, który wkrótce zostanie ojcem, jest to chwila na odwiedziny starego przyjaciela i wspomnienie innej, bardziej śmiertelnej w skutkach, wojny. Dla burmistrza Baśniogrodu – czas uświadomienia sobie problemów codziennej pracy w administracji publicznej i jej sprzecznych ze sobą wymagań. A dla Śnieżki – okres długiego i bolesnego porodu oraz wielu radosnych, chwytających za serce niespodzianek. Cztery pory roku to album złożony z zeszytu 22 oraz zeszytów 28-33, wchodzących w skład serii stworzonej przez Billa Willinghama.

Po wygraniu wojny z imperium Dżepetta na Baśniogród spadła prawdziwa seria dramatycznych wydarzeń, z których ostatnimi były zniszczenie ich kwatery w Nowym Jorku i śmierć bohaterskiego Niebieskiego Chłopca. Jak się wydaje, na świat wypełzło jakieś straszliwe zło i wolni Baśniowcy muszą stawić mu czoło. Gdy próbują przegrupować siły po zniszczeniu nowojorskiej twierdzy, pojawia się kolejne niebezpieczeństwo, które zagraża nie tylko ich przybranej planecie, ale także istnieniu samych Baśniowców. Czy połączone siły legendarnych bohaterów baśni i literatury okażą się wystarczające w wojnie z nowym wrogiem? Jedno jest pewne: gdy rozpocznie się walka, świat Baśni już nigdy nie będzie taki sam!

Winner of Fourteen Eisner Awards Written on the wind. With the Battle of Fabletown won, and the surrounding city of New York none the wiser, the Fables have gained a little time for rebuilding and reflection - in between interrogation of the Adversary's agent and the anticipation of Snow White's impending motherhood. For Bigby Wolf, the father of her soon-to-be newborns, that means a visit with an old friend - and a reminiscence of another, even deadlier war. For the Mayor of Fabletown, it means a rude awakening to the harsh realities of civis administration - and its conflicting demands. And for Snow herself, it means a long, painful labor - and a series of joyous, heartwrenching surprises. Collecting : Fables 22, 28-33

Po zničení Zlého vlka dochází v mocenských strukturách Mýtova k přesunům moci, které hrozí rozdělit komunitu na dvě válčící frakce – jednu vedenou Sněhurkou a druhou její sestrou Růženkou. Tento proces ještě víc urychlují machinace skrytého vnitřního nepřítele, který mezitím Wolfiho oživil, s veškerou jeho smrtící silou, ale bez dříve nabyté lidskosti.A tak se nyní ulicemi New Yorku plíží nezastavitelný netvor, který roztrhá na kusy každého, kdo se mu postaví do cesty, a každým krokem víc a víc oslabuje bariéry mezi všedním světem a magickým Mýtovem. Zatímco Růženka připravuje rytíře Nového Kamelotu do bitvy, Sněhurka spřádá plány, jak zachránit svého očarovaného manžela. Je to příběh, který může skončit jedině tragicky – až na to, že příběhy je možné přepisovat. Kouzla se dají zlomit.

Nyní ovšem po mnoha stech letech izolace doutná na Farmě revoluce. Rozdmýchává ji štvavá rétorika Zlatovlásky a třech malých prasátek. A když Sněhurka a její sestra Růženka náhodou odhalí jejich plán osvobodit původní vlast, jsou komisaři na Farmě připraveni umlčet je a to jakýmikoli prostředky!

Follows the adventures of storybook and nursery rhyme characters who live side-by-side with humans.

Matthew Sturges, writer of the Eisner-nominated Jack of Fables, and co-writer Bill Willingham, the creator of Fables, proudly unlock the doors to the House of Mystery, a new graphic novel series that reinvents the classic DC Comics concept. It focuses on five characters trapped in a supernatural bar, trying to solve the mystery of how and why they're imprisoned there. Each one has a terrible past they'd like to forget, and with no books, newspapers or TV allowed in the House, they face an eternity of boredom. But stories become the new currency, and fortunately, the House attracts only the finest storytellers.Collecting: House of Mystery 6-10

Für die meisten ihrer Mit-Fables ist Cinderella eine nichtsnutzige Herumtreiberin, die mehr Interesse daran hat, die richtigen Pumps zu finden, als die Freiheit von Fabletown zu verteidigen. Doch in Wirklichkeit ist sie die beste Agentin der Märchengemeinde, eine Meisterspionin, die schon seit Jahrhunderten gegen magische und weltliche Feinde zu Felde zieht. Beide Miniserien in einem Band Autor: Chris Roberson Zeichner: Shawn McManus
