Look at that cover. Is that cool as hell, or what? The interior art on this book has never been fantastic, but I'll tell you what . . the story more than makes up for it. Bill Willingham's mind works in some mysterious ways. Matthew Sturges has been helping him out of late. But I really think he just tries to keep the guy on track. If his stories went in the directions that his mind does, well . . . they'd be pretty hard to follow. He really does come up with some fanatical . . er, I mean, fantastic ideas. I don't know how the guy does it. This story-line, our group has gone to Americana. Like the Golden Boroughs, this is where the Myths and Fables live. But this one is strictly for the American Myths and Fables. This issue is really a tour of the whole area. They visit Gangland, where Jack cashes in on his experience with hustling moonshine, then the Great White North. Which to them is really boring. Off to the Colonies, the Big City, Antebellum, Lone Star, and finally the Frontier. Where they think they've reached their goal. "Wait . . my ASS! Hillary . . look at my ass!", shouts Humpty. Remember, the treasure map is tattooed on his ass. "See? It's the oil-derrick thingy from the map! We're here! We made it! We found the lost city of Gold!" So now next issue, we'll see what they have to go through to claim their treasure. I really like this book. But, it is out there. Cool!
