Vertigo's Fables To Release Two New Books This Fall

DC Comics announced earlier today that there will be a new prose novel and a new "Encyclopedia," both based on the world of Bill Willingham's Fables comic books, released in the fall of 2013. Check out the official information from DC below.

The FABLES ENCYCLOPEDIA will be a Deluxe Edition hardcover volume devoted to the characters you've grown to love in Bill Willingham's FABLES mythos. Compiled by noted scholar Jess Nevins, each entry will include the character's historical origin and Fables reinvention as well as first appearances and whimsical anecdotes from creator Bill Willingham and regular series artist Mark Buckingham. The book will feature a, yet to be revealed, wraparound cover by Adam Hughes. Spinning out of the FAIREST ongoing series, FAIREST: IN ALL THE LAND hardcover will feature short stories written by Bill Willingham, told through the Magic Mirror and illustrated by some the finest artists in comics, including Adam Hughes, Chrissie Zullo, Mark Chiarello, Karl Kerschl and more! (Think FABLES: 1001 Nights of Snowfall.) The book will feature a, yet to be revealed, wraparound cover by Adam Hughes.
