This beautiful hardcover volume is an updated edition of James Jean’s illustrated covers for Vertigo’s highly acclaimed comic series Fables ( review for old edition here ), featuring 91 single issues and 11 wraparounds.
The book is filled with James Jean’s extraordinary art work from cover to cover, showcasing his versatile illustration style.
(above) This piece immediately brings to mind John William Waterhouse’s painting Saint Eulalia, perhaps James Jean’s nod to the Pre-Raphaelite maestro ?
A spectacular art book collecting some of James Jean’s best illustration work. This book adds 48 pages of additional material to the original edition and comes very highly recommended.
