Review
"A volume full of backstories...gets the kind of classy treatment success merits....The stories are both clever and psychologically explanatory of the characters as they appear in the ongoing, contemporarily set Fables story." Booklist
Review
"[A] masterful collection of short stories....Fables is a landmark achievement in comics. 1001 Nights is a brilliant extension of that success....You have no excuse not to read this masterpiece anthology." IGN.com
Review
"[P]retty much perfect....The worst thing about 1001 Nights is the page length. 140? Surely that's not the limit of Bill Willingham's supernova of an imagination?...Considering the numerous sources he's drawing from in crafting these tales, I'm optimistic that the well may never run dry. Long live Fables!" Silver Bullet Comics
