Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
“The inventive writers and illustrators who crafted these transporting stories just may convince you to trash your BlackBerry and buy some stamps.”
–Frank Warren, author of PostSecret
You’ve seen them at flea markets and in antique shops and used-book stores across the country: Vintage postcards inscribed with handwritten notes, evocative messages that capture a thought, an expression, a concern, a snapshot of someone’s life once upon a time. Jason Rodriguez, acclaimed editor of Elk’s Run, collected a remarkable array of these correspondences, dispersed them among thirty-three of comics’ greatest creators, and asked each to craft a story about the person who sent it. The result is a vividly imagined, gorgeously rendered graphic anthology illustrating tales of romance, adventure, hardship, and mystery. In Postcards, these gifted artists share some of the richest and most inventive work of their careers.

“This anthology is really interesting. Basically it’s a bunch of short comics based on real postcards and the stories are so intriguing and at time a little creepy. I remember getting this as a present when I was eight or nine and it terrified me, but I still read it whenever I was sick (for some reason). I’d recommend it for people who want something short that’ll make you think.”notadamwitt
