Fables #46
In "The Ballad of Rodney and June, Part 1 of 2," Bill Willingham crafts a poignant tale within the Fables universe, where a wounded wooden soldier finds unexpected affection during a conflict with the Arabians. Drawn with delicate precision by Jim Fern and brought to life through the evocative colors of Daniel Vozzo, the story unfolds as a tender, war-torn romance, with the letter he writes to his father setting off a chain of events that will change everything. The haunting cover by James Jean captures the tale’s melancholy beauty.
