Fables TP Vol 1 Legends In Exile fairy tale characters

Her apartment's a bloody crime scene.  Her body's nowhere to be found.  And it's not a simple case of murder.  What horrifying thing has happened to beloved fairytale character Rose Red?

You'll be surprised to learn the answer, as VERTIGO's hit series gets its first collection with FABLES: LEGENDS IN EXILE — a 128-page trade paperback collecting the first five issues of the sold-out, critically acclaimed, fan-favorite title.  Created and written with predatory wit by Bill Willingham (Coventry, THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: MERV PUMPKINHEAD — AGENT OF DREAM), LEGENDS IN EXILE features the art of Lan Medina (Aria, WONDER WOMAN SECRET FILES), Steve Leialoha (THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: PETREFAX) and Craig Hamilton (THE SPECTRE).  This collection also includes a new FABLES prose story by Willingham and a new painted cover by James Jean.

When a group of fairytale characters are exiled from their respective homelands, they're forced to take up secret residence in modern day New York City.  But life in the "real" world among the "mundanes" isn't easy for these displaced refugees — especially after their community is rocked by the apparent murder of Rose Red.

The primary suspect in Red's death is her latest boyfriend, Jack — an unrepentant rascal who's caused no end of trouble for the Fable community since his beanstalk-climbing days.  It's up to Deputy Mayor Snow White and a reformed Bigby Wolf, Fabletown's one-man police force, to sniff out whodunnit to Snow's estranged, party-girl sister.  Can the reluctant partners solve the mystery of Rose Red's murder without killing one another in the process?
