Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Lofty ideals are to be lauded but inevitability they fall down, they crumble to dust and mud and in the end even the mightiest most noble truth comes crashing down because of instability in keeping an archetype principle alive.

With Bill Willingham’s Fables series, the ideal has always been within the reader’s grasp, a succession of books that ranks so highly in graphic novel lovers affections that it shares its crown with only the likes of Locke and Key with ease and panache. The ideal though takes a turn in the 20^th of the graphic novels through the epitome to be found in one of ancient Britain’s most enduring tales, one passed on to even greater heights in Thomas Malory’s tale of Le Morte d’Arthur, as the thought of Camelot comes into play.
