anyone know of anywhere I can legally down load them now then?
That's not how this works.
You're free to create stories, video, of your own video game in the universe. If you chose to make that public domain and give it away for free, then good on you.
Others can create freely in this universe with their own expression, which they could charge for.
Much like how there are movies about Cinderella or Red Riding Hood which are under copyright, but the base story itself is in the public domain and free to use.
Right, that makes sense! Thanks!
What an awesome thing for him to do but I can't pretend I'm not slightly disappointed to have a huge series of free comics to dive into.
I recommend the Overdrive app. sign up (in the app, even!) for a library card (doesn't necessarily need to be to your local library) and start checking the books out!
It's called Libby now, but still great advice.
Oh right, thanks.
Thanks
You betcha. I recommend it to people all the time.
Always worth checking if there's more libraries you're eligible for, for the best selection - I've got a card through my local library, one from the next town over (I just need to visit once a year to renew), and a town in California (Sunnyvale) that gives library accounts to anyone who applies. Some libraries will do digital-only accounts for like $20/Year, so that could be worth looking into if your local library doesn't support Overdrive/Libby.
The Wold Among Us universe is public domain. Not the mainline Fables universe.
incorrect.
