The Literals #1 (2009) launches a bold, metafictional twist in the Fables universe, introducing readers to a new level of storytelling where the building blocks of fiction come to life. Written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges, this issue is an essential part of “The Great Fables Crossover,” pulling threads from both Fables and Jack of Fables into an ambitious and thought-provoking narrative.

Here, we meet the Literals—characters who are the personifications of narrative forces themselves: Writer’s Block, Genre, Plot Devices, and even Kevin Thorn, the dangerously omnipotent author figure. The tension rises as these beings begin to reshape the world around them, challenging the free will of beloved Fables characters. This is storytelling about storytelling, wrapped in action, satire, and plenty of magic.

The artwork by Mark Buckingham and Andrew Pepoy brings a sharp, expressive energy to every panel, perfectly matching the story’s intellectual playfulness with visual clarity and charm.

A must-have for collectors and fans of literary fiction in graphic form, The Literals #1 breaks the fourth wall in spectacular fashion and sets the tone for a crossover arc unlike any other.
