Briar

Briar, a single-issue comic from Improper Books launched in 2015, reimagines the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale through a dark, feminist lens. The story follows a young woman who awakens from a century-long slumber to find her kingdom in ruins, forcing her to survive in a hostile world without the promise of a prince. This standalone debut marks the series' sole entry, notable for its atmospheric art and subversive take on a classic story.
