> I didn't see it pointed out but DC is owned by Warner-Discovery (or whatever it is called) so they have tons of lawyers on retainer to prevent anyone from actually publishing Fables but them.

I don't see a way around this:

> The one thing in our contract the DC lawyers can’t contest, or reinterpret to their own benefit, is that I am the sole owner of the intellectual property. I can sell it or give it away to whomever I want.

If he kept full ownership, and I obviously can't see any of his contracts, DC doesn't have any ownership and so can't stop any such publication. It's like how publishing a nice edition of Shakespeare doesn't give that publisher any proprietary rights to Hamlet.
