Synopses & Reviews
Stepping out of Bill Willingham's acclaimed Vertigo series Fables, the charming and insufferable Jack of Tales is the center of attention once again, this time in his very own ongoing title. In this first collection, Jack is thrown into a prison-like "retirement" community for wayward Fables, where he discovers a sinister plot to eliminate all traces of magic from the Mundane World. Written by Willingham and Matthew Sturges, The (Nearly) Great Escape features art by Tony Akins and Andrew Pepoy as well as painted covers by James Jean and a special sketchbook section by Akins.
Review
"Akins and Pepoy's art is fairly realistic, but with some quick dips into the cartoony. They are particularly adept at communicating subtext through facial expressions and use those skills to foreshadow some important plot twists." School Library Journal
