Comics: Jason Minor on the Fables for Japan Benefit Books
With all of the human tragedy, economic problems and political turmoil—not to mention failed celebrity marriages—dominating our attention these days, it’s been far too easy to forget that the Japanese people are still in the early stages of recovering from the terrible earthquake and subsequent tsunami that occurred earlier this year.
Still, when faced with that scale of destruction and those incomprehensible numbers of dead, an individual can end up feeling powerless to aid in any meaningful or significant manner. [more]...

64 mins. Our maritime message is that you listen to this aquatic adventure for your audio canals, as a tidal wave of seafaring superheroes and stories washes over you. Also, six-packs, Eddie Murphy and arm wrestling and our attempt to mock Aquaman’s harpoon hand, and lustrous hair. He’s the King of the Seven Seas! He demands respect people!

  1. I bought this first book yesterday, and spent at least an hour reading through it and enjoying the artwork.

    I have 2 favourite stories in this first book.

    "To My Masterpiece" is really because I'm a sucker for a good love story. It was short, sweet and heartfelt.

    "Boy in the Water" was actually pretty special. While the meaning wasn't apparent at first, I felt as though I moved along with the character until we both came to a realisation at the end, which is actually quite moving.

    For a small donation, we can all enjoy the hard work of a number of creators who have generously given their time for what I believe is a very special purpose.

    Thank you to all those who worked on this book, and who gave me a chance to contribute a small something to those in need. I very much look forward to the next 2 books.

  6. Fables for Japan is a digital e-book that you download to your computer, iPad, iPhone, android, or any device that can read a PDF file.

    We would like to do a collector's print edition collecting all the books in one with additional material but that depends on how much support we get now.
