Courageous Princess: The Quest

Rod Espinosa's Courageous Princess: The Quest (2001–present, Antarctic Press) expands the world of his plucky heroine with a single-issue adventure that blends fairy-tale fantasy with Espinosa's signature manga-influenced art. As the creator-writer-artist, Espinosa deepens the saga of a princess who relies on her wits and courage rather than waiting for rescue, making this a key chapter for fans of proactive, self-determined fantasy heroines.
