Right, that makes sense! Thanks!

What an awesome thing for him to do but I can't pretend I'm not slightly disappointed to have a huge series of free comics to dive into.

I recommend the Overdrive app. sign up (in the app, even!) for a library card (doesn't necessarily need to be to your local library) and start checking the books out!

It's called Libby now, but still great advice.

Oh right, thanks.

Always worth checking if there's more libraries you're eligible for, for the best selection - I've got a card through my local library, one from the next town over (I just need to visit once a year to renew), and a town in California (Sunnyvale) that gives library accounts to anyone who applies. Some libraries will do digital-only accounts for like $20/Year, so that could be worth looking into if your local library doesn't support Overdrive/Libby.

You betcha. I recommend it to people all the time.

The Wold Among Us universe is public domain. Not the mainline Fables universe.

incorrect.

As of now, 15 September 2023, the comic book property called Fables, including all related Fables spin-offs and characters, is now in the public domain. What was once wholly owned by Bill Willingham is now owned by everyone, for all time.
