Synopsis

It's everything a fan of the series could want - and everything a non-fan could need to get initiated. - IO9 Willingham manages to merge the gentle, meandering feel of fairy tales with a breakneck, contemporary pacing - a very clever trick indeed. The characters and stories are very engaging, the tension real, the mythos powerful. - Boing Boing The critically acclaimed prose novel from FABLES creator Bill Willingham - now in trade paperback! The tale takes place long ago, in the deepest dark of The Black Forest. Two brothers - Peter Piper and his older brother Max - encounter ominous forces that change them both irreparably. Thus begins an epic tale of sibling rivalry, magic, music and revenge that spans medieval times to the present day, when their deadly conflict surfaces in the placid calm of modern day Fabletown. PETER & MAX: A FABLES NOVEL features the prose of award-winning comic book writer Bill Willingham and the lush ink drawings of FABLES artist Steve Leialoha. The novel also reveals secrets of some of the regular FABLES series cast members including Bigby Wolf, Frau Totenkinder and Bo Peep, along with an 8-page comics story by Willingham and Leialoha!

Author Bio
Bill Willingham has been writing, and sometimes drawing, comics for more than 20 years. During that time, he's had work published by nearly every comics publisher in the business, and he's created many critically acclaimed comic book series, including Elementals, Coventry, Proposition Players, and of course the seminal Vertigo series Fables, as well as its spin-off series Fairest, Jack of Fables and The Literals. His work has been nominated for many awards, including the Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz comic industry awards and the International Horror Guild award. He lives somewhere near a good poker room.

Steve Leialoha began his comic career in 1975 and inked and pencilled for Marvel from 1976 to 1988, working on titles including Spider-Man, Howard the Duck, Indiana Jones, and Spider-Woman. In the early 1990s, he worked on Batman, The Shadow, and The Sandman at DC Comics. His most recent credit is as inker on the multiple Eisner Award-winning series Fables, written by Bill Willingham.
