false 21322 7 Bill Willingham's critically acclaimed, Eisner Award-winning series FABLES is a wickedly imaginative take on the current state of the world's favorite characters from fable and lore. <P>This original hardcover collection is set in the early days of Fabletown, long before the FABLES series began. Traveling in Arabia as an Ambassador from the exiled FABLES community, Snow White is captured by the local sultan who wants to marry her (and then kill her). But the clever Snow attempts to charm the sultan instead by playing Scheherazade, telling him fantastic stories for a total of 1001 nights. <P>Running the gamut from uncomfortable horror to dark intrigue to mercurial coming-of-age, FABLES:1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL reveals the secret histories of familiar FABLES characters through a series of compelling and visually illustrative tales. Writer Bill Willingham is joined by an impressive array of artists, including Charles Vess, Brian Bolland, John Bolton, Michael Wm. Kaluta, James Jean, Tara McPherson, Derek Kirk Kim, Esao Andrews, Mark Buckingham, Mark Wheatley and Jill Thompson. FABLES: 1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL is both a welcomed entry point to the critically acclaimed series and an essential part of Willingham's enchanting and imaginative FABLES mythos. 3163819 18 10 2006 Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall total:1480|5:607|4:589|3:250|2:29|1:5| 1480 6204 1827 131 3 1 false false Tue Dec 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 13:03:03 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 23 07:09:04 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Nov 02 11:38:08 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 06 23:24:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 17:38:51 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 20:50:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 08:44:18 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 17:42:10 -0700 2009 1 1001 Nights of Snowfall is a graphic novel that anyone can read and enjoy.
