If we’ve learned anything from Fables, it’s that not every tale has a happy ending. But fortunately, yours can. Especially if you’re a Bill Willingham or Fables fan.

Today marks the release of FABLES #122, which tells the story of “The Destiny Game,” an action-packed, surprising tale written by Bill Willingham and drawn by guest artist Gene Ha. It looks into the matter of fate and how it plays out in the Fables universe, which is an interesting subject considering that one lucky Fables fan out there is about change theirs.

At San Diego Comic-Con last summer, we had Bill Willingham sign the below card. And as a little tribute to this new issue and the 121 that preceded it, we’re giving it away.

Since it’s hard to get a sense of scale from that photo, you should know that this no pocket card. It’s 11” by 14” and is made of heavy, thick card stock. It’s a great piece for framing and you’re sure to enjoy telling the story about how you won it to your friends. But until you’ve actually claimed the prize, the tale is incomplete.
