Born in 1966 in the English seaside town of Clevedon, Mark
Buckingham has worked in comics professionally for the past
twenty years. In addition to illustrating all of Neil Gaiman's run
on the post-Alan Moore Miracleman in the early 1990s, Buckingham
contributed inks to The Sandman and its related miniseries Death:
The High Cost of Living and Death: The Time of Your Life as well as
working on various other titles for Vertigo and Marvel through the
end of the decade. In 2002 he took over as the penciller for Bill
Willingham's Fables, which has gone on to become one of the most
popular and critically acclaimed Vertigo titles of the new
millennium. When not in Clevedon, Buckingham can be found with his
wife Irma in the Asturias region of northern Spain.
"An epic, beautifully written story that places Fables, familiar
characters from folklore, in the mundane world after a mysterious
Adversary conquers their homelands ... the series has proved
tremendously popular."
"One of the best damn series ever written."
"Readers will delight in his mischievous take on such sacred
children's archetypes, especially Prince Charming's unapologetic
smarminess."
"This clever, enjoyable series ... is an excellent series in the
tradition of Sandman, one that rewards careful attention and
loyalty."
