A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

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.

Matthew Sturges has written a number of comics for DC, including House of Mystery, Justice Society of America, and the Eisner-nominated Jack of Fables (with Bill Willingham). He has also written the novel Midwinter, available from Pyr, and its sequel The Office of Shadow.

Tony Akins is an accomplished comic book artist who first gained attention for his work on the 1980's comic book series Nexus. He went on to do work for Now Comics and Dark Horse Comics illustrating such well known properties as Star Wars, Aliens, and The Terminator. He did his first work for DC Comics in 2003 on Vertigo projects such as Hellblazer: Papa Midnite and Fables. In 2006 he began a five year run with writers Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges on the popular monthly series Jack of Fables, a spin-off of Willingham's Fables series. Akins has also worked with writer Brian Azzarello on the Wonder Woman on-going series.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

With Jack Horner, former star of JACK OF FABLES, permanently transformed into a dragon, Vertigo reboots the series with a new hero, Jack Frost.

The world in which this story takes place is the world in which Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers lived, only thousands of years later. All that remains is superstition and feudalism and all of the old technology is regarded as magic now. Jack seeks the magic blade which will defeat the Giant King. But of course nothing is as it seems since the good guys always reveal themselves to be evil in the end.
