Notes
- This issue is reprinted in Fables: Legends in Exile.
- First actual appearance of Rose Red.
- Cinderella appeared last in Fables #2.
- Lady Beauty and Lord Beast appeared last in issue #1.
- Many of the Fables seen in flashback are unidentified gnomes, dwarves, trolls, fairies, pixies and an assortment of animals.
- Bigby Wolf is also seen in flashback to the incident involving his stalking of Red Riding Hood.
- Jack Horner is also seen in flashback as a young lad climbing a beanstalk.
- First appearance of Pinocchio. Pinocchio is also seen in flashback as a partially chiseled block of wood.
Trivia
- One of the at-home Remembrance Day revelers is wearing a Superman t-shirt.
- One scene depicts the "Kingdom of the Great Lion", with a dead male lion lying on the ground with arrows sticking out of him. King Cole says that he found the lion to be a "bit too Holier-Than-Thou". This is a rather obvious reference to the character of Aslan from C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. The Holier-Than-Thou remark is a reference to the numerous Christian parallels found within the stories, particularly that of portraying Aslan in the role of a Christ figure.
- Another reference is made to the Emerald Kingdom. This is undoubtedly the Emerald City from L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Tin Man and Jack Pumpkinhead can be seen fleeing the Adversary's minions in another scene in the issue.
- One of the witches seen in flashback is the Slavic figure of folklore Baba Yaga. She can be seen at the window of her cabin. She is easily identified by the fact that her home is nestled atop a pair of giant chicken legs (as depicted in the old stories).
