*Murder? Betrayal? Extortion? Brain-Eating?

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

After successfully escaping from an inescapable prison, is there a better place to head for than the city that fickle fortune built? Not if you’re Jack of Fables! Overflowing with his legendary self-regard, Jack is about to discover the key to winning back his lost riches and triumphantly returning to the top of the heap. All it will take is a little planning and some help from Lady Luck.

Unfortunately, Lady Luck turns out to be a bit more substantial than her reputation would suggest, as well as a whole lot crazier. Jack’s going to have his hands full just keeping his head on straight in Sin City - something that his former jailers intend to take full advantage of.

Rising up from creator Bill Willingham’s acclaimed VERTIGO series FABLES, the self-proclaimed Greatest Fable of Them All continues his solo adventures in Jack of Hearts, collecting issues 6-11 of the ongoing JACK OF FABLES series and featuring stories by Willingham and Matthew Sturges and art by Tony Akins, Steve Leialoha and Andrew Pepoy.*

Albumi sisältää oikeastaan kaksi tarinaa. Toinen on Jackin kertomus siitä, kuinka hän päätyi olemaan Jack Frost ja onnistui siinä sivussa suututtamaan Lumikuningattaren. Toinen taas jatkaa miekkosen tarinaa siitä, mitä tapahtui paon jälkeen. Herra päätyy Vegasiin ja kasinoiden pyörteisiin. Rikkauksia on luvassa, mutta niin on myös ongelmiakin. eikä Jack ole Jack ilman kumpaakaan...

Vauhtia, jännitystä ja outoja tilanteita. Kuvitus on tuttua jälkeä, joka välillä hämmentää.
