Fables #29
In "War Stories, Part Two: Frankenstein Versus the Wolf Man," Bill Willingham weaves a haunting wartime tale set within the eerie legacy of Frankenstein Castle, grounding its mythos in a grim historical backdrop. With Tony Akins' evocative art, Jimmy Palmiotti’s inks, Daniel Vozzo’s moody colors, and Todd Klein’s precise lettering, the story brings a visceral weight to the soldiers’ names and the haunted past they carry. James Jean’s striking cover captures the tale’s gothic tension, making this a standout entry in the Fables series.
