FABLES #144

Written by Bill Willingham, art by Mark Buckingham, cover by Nimit Malavia.

This is our solicitation,

Going out to every nation,

For a new issue of Fables taking wing.

We thought we would this time,

Do the entire blurb in rhyme,

Just to see if anyone actually reads this thing.

In this issue, Bigby resurrected,

Quite more monstrous than expected,

Is challenged by a golden-armored knight.

They throw down in the city,

And won't it be a pity,

If lives are lost during the bloody fight.

As our special gift to you,

We make this promise true,

That the actual issue won't be all a-rhyming.

'Twill be done in the best prose we know,

About Bigby and his Fabled foe,

And their vicious battle fought with expert timing.
