Bill Willingham's Fables Gets Further Delayed

Fables #160 has a new publication date of the 17th of October 2023, when the original on-sale date was the 4th of April....

Recently, Fables creator Bill Willingham told us he was going to give a big explanation as to why the new Fables series, The Black Forest, was so late, and that it would be expected. My expectation was that it was down to Mark Buckingham's schedule drawing Fables and both co-writing and drawing Miracleman. Instead, Bill Willingham talked about how terrible DC Comics was and that he was putting Fables into the public domain, whether he was allowed to do that or not. Well, Fables has gotten later, though Willingham says he finished writing it all two years ago.

Fables #160 has a new publication date of the 17th of October 2023, when the original on-sale date was the 4th of April. Fables #161 has a new date of the 21st of November 2023, when the original on-sale date was the 13th of September.  Rghe final Fables #162 has now been solicited for the 14th of November, so I expect that will change next week.
