About the series
In 2001–2002, Oni Press released the three-issue miniseries Killer Princesses, a darkly comedic and action-packed tale that reimagines classic fairy-tale royalty as covert operatives. Written by Gail Simone with art by Lea Hernandez, the series follows a team of princesses trained from childhood as assassins, blending espionage, violent humor, and subversive takes on familiar characters. Though short, it stands as an early showcase of Simone's sharp, character-driven voice in creator-owned comics, and Hernandez's vibrant, expressive art gives the story a distinct, playful edge.
