Concept and development

The graphic novels featured are the first half of the Southland Tales story. The film itself relates the second part.

Southland Tales, in its entirety, was conceived as a nine part "interactive experience". The first six parts would have appeared as six 100-page graphic novels released in a six-month period leading up to the film's release in 2007. The feature film comprises the final three parts of the experience. A website was also developed to interweave the narratives of the graphic novels and film. The planned six graphic novels was reduced to three.

Two Roads Diverge, Fingerprints and The Mechanicals make up the three published graphic novels.
