HELP WANTED As the world's oldest, most powerful witch,Thessaly has learned through millennia of experience to be prepared for almost anything, but since she could never have foreseen the persistence of one lovesick ghost names Fetch—or the conniving, underhanded lengths he would go to in order to win her heart. Attaching her name to a monster slaying business behind her back is one thing, but agreeing to take on the universe's ultimate destructive force—well, that just proves that love makes you stupid. Faced with this kind of courtship, it'll be a miracle if Thessaly can survive long enough to smack some sense into Fetch's intangible head—never mind stopping the unstoppable doom he's unleashed.

Bill Willingham
Bill Willingham
Author · 96 books

In the late 1970s to early 1980s he drew fantasy ink pictures for the Dungeons & Dragons Basic and Expert game rulebooks. He first gained attention for his 1980s comic book series Elementals published by Comico, which he both wrote and drew. However, for reasons unknown, the series had trouble maintaining an original schedule, and Willingham's position in the industry remained spotty for many years. He contributed stories to Green Lantern and started his own independent, black-and-white comics series Coventry which lasted only 3 issues. He also produced the pornographic series Ironwood for Eros Comix. In the late 1990s Willingham reestablished himself as a prolific writer. He produced the 13-issue Pantheon for Lone Star Press and wrote a pair of short novels about the modern adventures of the hero Beowulf, published by the writer's collective, Clockwork Storybook, of which Willingham was a founding member. In the early 2000s he began writing extensively for DC Comics, including the limited series Proposition Player, a pair of limited series about the Greek witch Thessaly from The Sandman, and most notably the popular series Fables
