Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland

In this one-shot from the world of Fables, writer Bill Willingham and artists Craig Hamilton and Jim Fern explore the hidden corners of the American Midwest, where a pack of werewolves struggles to maintain their ancient traditions in the shadow of the mundane world. Published by DC's Vertigo imprint in 2012, this standalone story expands the lore of the Fables universe by focusing on a community of lycanthropes rarely seen in the main series. It matters as a compact, self-contained tale that deepens the mythos while showcasing the talents of Hamilton and Fern on a character-driven supernatural drama.
