Prinses Simone #1

This Dutch-language collection brings together the early adventures of Prinses Simone, a modern fairy-tale princess navigating the absurdities of royal life in a contemporary setting. Written and drawn by Dutch creator Jean-Marc van Tol, the volume follows Simone and her eclectic cast of family members, friends, and quirky courtiers—including Koning Bruno, Koningin Nova, and the ever-scheming Van der Reutel—through a series of humorous, slice-of-life stories that gently parody both classic princess tropes and everyday Dutch culture. Originally serialized in the Dutch newspaper Trouw, these strips showcase van Tol's signature wit and clean ligne claire style.
