Fables, Vol. 5: The Mean Seasons

Winner of Fourteen Eisner Awards

Written on the wind.
With the Battle of Fabletown won, and the surrounding city of New York none the wiser, the Fables have gained a little time for rebuilding and reflection – in between interrogation of the Adversary’s agent and the anticipation of Snow White’s impending motherhood.

For Bigby Wolf, the father of her soon-to-be newborns, that means a visit with an old friend – and a reminiscence of another, even deadlier war. For the Mayor of Fabletown, it means a rude awakening to the harsh realities of civis administration – and its conflicting demands. And for Snow herself, it means a long, painful labor – and a series of joyous, heartwrenching surprises.
