The artist is Karl Molina, I think.
Edit: my bad, it's Karl Moline...
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If I only had a brain...
What's Fables?
I bought the next couple of phonebooks after Sim kicked me in the face, and then I couldn't actually get around to reading them.
Dammit.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
A Bill Willingham penned series about how the characters of our fables/myths (Snow White, Prince Charming, The three pigs, Jack (of the beanstalk)) have fled to our world after all of their worlds have been conquered.
Bill Willingham is one of those writers that was well known in the late 80s, early 90s, but sort of faded away for a while, but now is back.

Did the Elementals, right?

Yep, a title ahead of its time, unfortunately. Was one of the earliest 'realistic' takes on superhumans...

Actually it was one of the most successful indie superhero comics of that time. It sold real well - probably as well as Mage or Nexus.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I still remember Willingham as the guy who did the illustrations for all those Dungeons & Dragons modules back in the early 80s.

Oh yeah, but without him running it, and Comico being crazy, it would have done a lot better. He eventually sold the rights to comico, which promptly distingerated.
What was interesting is that I think it was the only comic that ever had an official x-rated spinoff about the sex lives of the characters...

"...and that calls for some hard-hitting, potentially violent SCIENCE!"
Wow - I'd forgotten that he did the Elementals...I was so sad when Comico got bought out and the series went to hell, since I'd just been introduced to it by a friend who had all the issues. After the financial troubles, they started with the 'Fathom Sex Special #25' and I wasn't interested anymore.
I also miss Piranha Press' 'Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children'.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
