1st printing. By Neta Gordon. Bill Willingham's Fables imagined the lives of fairy tale figures - Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella and the ubiquitous Prince Charming, among many others - as they made new lives for themselves in modern-day New York City. This study, the first about the sprawling, complex series, discusses such topics as Fables' status as a contemporary adaptation of folk and fairy tales; its use of conventional genres like sword-and-sorcery, crime and romance; its portrayal of social and political relationships; and its self-referential moments. The author explores how Fables portrays redemption, the function of community, and how our hopes and fears influence our ideal of "happily ever after." Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, B&W. Cover price $35.00.

1st printing. Based on the Story by Ursula K. Le Guin. Adapted by Fred Fordham. Ursula K. Le Guin's timeless and revered A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA, reimagined in this richly expansive graphic novel. Ged was the greatest sorcerer in Earthsea, but in his youth he was the reckless Sparrowhawk. In his hunger for power and knowledge, he tampered with long-held secrets and unleashed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tumultuous tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance. Writer/artist Fred Fordham brings new life to Le Guin's iconic fantasy classic with his breathtaking illustrations and thoughtful text adaptation. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, full color. Cover price $26.99.
