Badassical

In Badassical, writer and artist Collette Turner delivers a two-issue comic series from Dapper Drone, launched in 2016, that reimagines classic fairy-tale heroines as modern, tough-as-nails protagonists. The series strips away the damsels-in-distress tropes, placing these iconic women in gritty, action-driven scenarios that emphasize survival and self-reliance. Though brief, Badassical stands out for its bold, feminist reclamation of familiar stories, offering a raw and visually striking take on what happens when princesses stop waiting for rescue.
