Behold, a Fables icon!!

[kellinator]

This is Bigby Wolf from my current favorite comic, Fables by Bill Willingham. (Gotham Central by Brubaker and Rucka is a close second, and issues of both come out today, so I'm happy as a clam.) I have him thanks to weaktwos, who shares my deep love for Bigby (I mean, this is the character that finally replaced Cassidy from Preacher as my comics boyfriend!)

And now, I have a cool Fables story...

A few months back, I was checking my email at the end of the weekend when I saw an address I didn't recognize. I clicked on the message, and there it was:

"Thanks for saying such nice things about Fables.

Bill Willingham"

Apparently he somehow came across the entries where I raved about Fables, and said thank you!! I invite you all to imagine the heights of my squeeing fangirliness (we're talking bouncing off the walls here).

Woo! smashing!

Getting a nice nod from Bill Willingham is sweet, indeed. I need to start gushing more in my livejournal, I guess.

Innit cool when the creators say nice stuff to you? Several years ago I was a letterhack to most of the comics I read, usually getting two or three letters printed a week. Steve Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen (who were the writer/artist team on "House of Secrets" sent me postcard replies to my letters to that book. Dave Taylor, the artist on "Shadow of the Bat" for a while, sent me some original artwork. I ran into Brian Stelfreeze, cover artist and penciller, at a movie theater once and he recognized me from several previous Dragon*Cons. Brushes with your idols are cool. :)

I want a new Fables collection to come out, dammit.

cheers,
Phil

Gaspety-gasp girl wonder! That's a nifty thing to have happen! *grin*

Mmm.. Fables. I wish I could find issue #3 somewhere. It's the only one I'm missing. *pouts*
