Bill Willingham has been writing, and sometimes drawing, comics for more than 20 years. During that time he's had work published by nearly every comics publisher in the business, and he's created many critically acclaimed comic book series, including ELEMENTALS, CONVENTRY, PROPOSITION PLAYER, and of course, the seminal Vertigo series FABLES, as well as its spin-off series FAIREST, JACK OF FABLES, and THE LITERALS. His work has been nominated for many awards, including the Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz comics industry awards and the International Horror Guild award. He lives somewhere near a good poker room.
