So during The Great Fables Crossover, Kevin Thorn (the embodiment of Storytelling) begins to come into his power and starts calling his other "children" to him, the Genres, which include Sci-Fi, Romance, Mystery, Noir, etc. However, one of his children is not named in the first issue of The Literals. This man looks almost exactly like Kevin Thorn but in a deranged condition and is continually in a straight jacket.

Who is this unnamed man?
Who is this man?

  • Thanks Richard! I've just started the Crossover story arc and most of the literals they name right off the bat. I suppose I should have just kept reading to find it out, but I wasn't patient enough.

This is "Writer's Block", described by the Vertigo Comics wiki as

...the literal personification of it's namesake.

...

His most prominent feature is his ability to dampen the creative process of his brother by his mere presence, rendering Kevin Thorn unable to begin his work.

As a Literal, Writer's Block cannot be permanently killed. He was able to come back to life a century after his brother first killed him.
