About this Collection

This volume concludes the Jack of Fables series, collecting the final story arc that brings Jack's wild adventures to a close. Written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges, with art by various contributors, it ties up loose ends from the Fables universe as Jack faces his ultimate fate.

In "Hot Librarians!", Jack of Fables #9 (2011), the fragile peace in Fabletown cracks when tourists push the Impaled Wild Man past his breaking point. As tensions rise, Jack Frost prepares for a final confrontation with the Dragon, while Sam takes on an unexpected babysitting duty with the Page Sisters—and Raven, guided by her spirit, makes a pivotal decision about the diner staff’s future. Written by Matthew Sturges and Bill Willingham, with art by Tony Akins and inks by Andrew Pepoy and Akins, and colored by Daniel Vozzo, the issue’s dynamic storytelling is framed by Brian Bolland’s striking cover.
