Description

James Jean created this for the second Fables TPB cover. It was also subsequently used for the cover the Fables Deluxe Edition hard cover. His phenominal covers were the reason I picked up Fables in the first place. It is but a single example of why James Jean is an Eisner award winner for four consecutive years.

His artistic genius is in the creation of imaginative, delicate and sometimes disturbing images that perfectly capture the essence of a story. He sets the bar for cover excellence precious few illustrators can ever hope to attain.

One of the most exciting things about James is he's only in his twenties. It's going to be a wild ride watching him explore uncharted territory and untapped creative reservoirs. He should do interior work so another cover artist can win an Eisner.

When asked in a recent comicbookresources.com interview what his favorite Fables cover was, jj "singled out the covers for the �Animal Farm� trade paperback and issue #54.

This orignal measures 22" X 30".

A big "thank you" to my good buddy Court for allowing me to add a true grail to my collection!

Hi Constant! How come I'm not surprised this ended up with you. I personally think this and Snowfall is the best Fables piece to date. So, a hearty congrats to you!

In all seriousness, as much as difficult as it was to part with this one, I'm much happier knowing it has ended up in such a good home. This cover will always hold a special place in my heart, and how it has a special place on your wall! :-)
