  <default_description>Who Killed Rose Red?

In Fabletown, where fairy tale legends live alongside regular New Yorkers, the question is all anyone can talk about. But only the Big Bad Wolf can actually solve the case - and, along with Rose's sister Snow White, keep the Fabletown community from coming apart at the seams.

Fables: Legends In Exile collects the first five issues of writer and creator Bill Willingham's acclaimed new Vertigo series (superbly illustrated by Lan Medina, Steve Leialoha, and Craig Hamilton), and includes a new Fables short story written and illustrated by Willingham.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This weekend, I started reading a series of graphic novels by Bill Willingham called FABLES, and I think I’m hooked.

With my gift cards from Christmas, though, I found that it was now available and bought the first two volumes.
