I agree PÃ³l, and I reckon that the majority of “Fables” readers are generally older anyway…
What would concern me more would be Eros pushing “Small Favors” towards readers of her current stuff…
…and the uproar from “concerned parents” towards Ms. Coover!

I noticed that Eros/Fantagraphics have recently been promoting â€œIronwoodâ€ as â€œFrom the mastermind behind Fablesâ€¦â€ – Not a bad thing, Ironwood is actually really fun, and Dragavon is an obvious inspiration for the character/attitude of Jack, but stillâ€¦

I don’t see a problem with it.
Bill Willingham’s been doing comics for a lot longer than he’s been doing ‘Fables’ and if it helps call attention to his earlier stuff… not just ‘Ironwood’, but ‘Elementals’ and ‘Coventry; all the better.

She stopped doing “Small Favors”?!?! Darn it..

Ah well, understandable really… You don’t really want to be the one that irate parents send hate mail to when they accidentally purchase “something by the author of X” that wasn’t what they thought it was…

… Despite the “Adults Only” banner that so many parents seem blind to…

I just want to note that the art starts out so-so, but in the last few issues, it’s great.
