Fables cover art book out today

Meredith Scheff — Wed, 11/12/2008 - 15:27

 

The long awaited (release has been pushed back several times) cover art book for Fables has come out today. It compiles all the amazing and moving covers that James Jean has done for the series, issues 1-75.  The cherry on top that is really making me squeal with happiness- each and every one is accompanied by sketches and progress shots. Yoyza.

Every Wednesday since I've been traveling, I've searched out the local comic book purveyor to see if this book had come out, and the wait has been more than worth it. James Jean is a jewel of an artist- creepily beautiful, deadly sexy, and intriguingly surreal; his art knocks my socks off every time.

For some reason, Amazon has the release date as next week, but your comic book shop should have it now.

It's amazing how something so deceptively simple, such as art, can practically have a philosophy of it's own and can bend your understanding. Before I knew about steampunk, it was the Metroid Prime concept art that convinced me that under-the-hood-style mechanics was something inarguably beautiful. Great post!
