So who owns Fables now?
DC Comics has declared that Fables is not public domain, despite what the comic’s creator says. In a statement released Thursday, Fables creator Bill Willingham said that he was releasing Fables into the public domain after disputes with DC, which publishes Fables under its Vertigo and DC Black Label imprints.

The Fables comic books and graphic novels published by DC, and the storylines, characters, and elements therein, are owned by DC and protected under the copyright laws of the United States and throughout the world in accordance with applicable law and are not in the public domain. DC reserves all rights and will take such actions as DC deems necessary or appropriate to protect its intellectual property rights.
Willingham made the announcement Thursday on his Substack page, These Foolish Games. He said that he is the sole owner of Fables and as such was free to do with it as he wished.
