Proposition Player TP (Mature Readers)

View Larger Image | Email Page to Friend

FABLES was one of the surprise hits of 2002, with issues and the first collection selling out quickly. Now re-discover the first VERTIGO miniseries by critically acclaimed writer and FABLES creator Bill Willingham that puts a pro poker player in the middle of a battle between two celestial beings over a handful of souls. When professional poker player Joey Martin collects vouchers for the souls of a roomful of people as a bar prank, he's just anted up for a game he never imagined in PROPOSITION PLAYER, a 144-page trade paperback collecting the original 6-issue miniseries that brought inimitable writer/artist Willingham (FABLES, The Elementals) to VERTIGO. And with art by Willingham, Paul Guinan (CHRONOS) and Ron Randall (THE DREAMING), a new cover by Willingham, and an introduction by professional poker writer and World Series of Poker competitor Jim McManus, PROPOSITION PLAYER is a bet readers won't want to pass up. PROPOSITION PLAYER is a caustically funny, deftly satirical story of redemption in the casinos of Las Vegas...and beyond. Joey is a "proposition player" paid by a casino to fill empty seats at high-stakes poker games. Arrogant, talented and strangely likable, he's especially good at talking his way into trouble. Like when, just for kicks, he offers a co-worker a beer in exchange for his soul. After the rest of his colleagues get in on the action, Joey's out a good chunk of change, with nothing to show for it but a pile of his friends' handwritten notes signing over their souls. Joey thinks they're just worthless scraps of paper, but envoys from Heaven and Hell think differently. Suddenly, Joey's caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between celestial powers, with an ever-expanding angel named Bill on one side and the sinfully sexy devil-woman named Hell Mary on the other. How can Vegas' smoothest talker talk his way out of this? SC, 7x10, 144pg, FC.
