Description


Fables #71 Cover Art (Finished Preliminary) – Art by James Jean

This is the original graphite-on-bond paper preliminary drawing by James Jean for the cover of Fables #71, part of his Eisner Award-winning run on the celebrated Vertigo series. Measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches, this piece showcases Jean’s delicate linework and design sensibility in its raw, conceptual form.

Unlike final digital or painted versions, this sketch offers a rare glimpse into Jean’s creative process—where layout, composition, and thematic resonance first come together. Rendered in pencil, the drawing captures the graceful, storybook-meets-fine-art quality that made Jean’s Fables covers so iconic.

A rare and intimate artifact from one of the most influential comic cover artists of the 21st century.

a classic. ANd i prefer the sketch to the finish on this one. Has a raw energy that the finished lacked. Nice pic up.

I was wondering if this was going to show up on CAF again. I'm also a huge fan of this cover, so I can see why it's one of your favorites. Congratulations!
