There have been 89 issues released so far, and 12 books. It features dozens of characters from a vast variety of sources –The Big Bad Wolf, Snow White, Goldilocks, Blue Beard, Pinocchio, Aladdin, Cinderella, Beauty, Beast and many others- and, naturally, many corresponding villains (though occasionally the roles are reversed, and several character switch sides at certain points). Premiering in 2002 and going strong (as will become evident in the interview), Fables is the saga of a group of characters from all kinds of fairy-tales, fictions and folklore, who, after being forced out of their magical homelands by the evil Adversary, built a small community in New York City. The special guest of this year’s ICON science fiction, fantasy and role playing convention, Bill Willingham is a longtime creator/writer/illustrator of comics, best known for creating and writing his on-going series Fables.
