The Princess Who Saved Her Friends #[nn]

A young princess stands front and center on this charming cover, guitar in hand and crown on head, flanked by a massive toothy blue dragon clutching a bass guitar and a quirky crew of smaller creature companions — including a tiny snake and what appears to be a robot-like pal — with a towering cake rounding out the celebration. The title says it all: this isn't a princess waiting to be rescued. Published by Boom! Studios in 2022 with a creative team including Pak, Coulton, Miyazawa, Kholinne, Farrell, and Bowland, this looks like a delightfully irreverent adventure full of friendship, music, and monsters.
