Based on the comic book series 'Fables' by Bill Willingham. Vertigo (DC) comics distributes it.
The movie poster "The Mongoose " featured in the opening sequence is a spoof of the movie "Cobra" starring Sylvester Stallone.
The game features many literary characters of myth, lore and folktales like Bloody Mary, Jersey Devil, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and many more.
When you enter Laurence's home and find him shot in front of a television set, if you listen to what is playing, you will hear a segment from the 'Midtown Cowboys' section of the game 'Sam and Max Save the World'. A game which was also created by Telltale.
There is a neon sign hanging on the wall of the Lucky Pawn that looks suspiciously like the Telltale Games logo.
