Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy is a Nintendo character appearing in Acclaim/Valiant's licensed Nintendo Comics System. Ruler of Sarasaland, she is known in the games as the princess rescued by Mario in Super Mario Land, and her comics appearances feature her alongside Mario and other Nintendo characters.

Princess Daisy made her comics debut in the pages of Game Boy #1 in 1990, brought to life by creators George Caragonne, Gray Morrow, and Paul Creddick during the Copper/Modern Age boom of licensed comics publishing. As part of Acclaim/Valiant's beloved Nintendo Comics System line, she inhabits a colorful world alongside the likes of Mario, Tatanga, and King Hippo — a roster that tells you exactly what kind of larger-than-life adventures these pages contain. Her appearances span Game Boy, Nintendo Comics System, and Super Mario Bros. titles, making her a charming piece of early-'90s gaming-meets-comics history. With only nine catalog appearances, tracking down her full run is a genuine treasure hunt for collectors with a soft spot for this wonderfully nostalgic corner of the medium.
