Die Prinzessin und das Pony

Kate Beaton, celebrated for her webcomic Hark! A Vagrant, brings her signature wit and warmth to this single-issue comic from Reprodukt. Die Prinzessin und das Pony adapts Beaton’s beloved children’s picture book into a German-language comic format, following a young warrior princess who receives a disappointingly chubby, sweet-faced pony as her steed. With Beaton’s expressive, humorous art, the story gently subverts fairy-tale expectations, celebrating resilience and the unexpected bonds between a determined child and her less-than-heroic pony. A charming standalone tale, it showcases Beaton’s talent for blending deadpan comedy with genuine heart.
