Princeless

A clever, all-ages fantasy adventure from Action Lab Comics, Princeless (2011–2012) reimagines the classic fairy-tale trope of the trapped princess. Instead of waiting for rescue, the headstrong young heroine Adrienne decides to save herself—and her sisters—by escaping her tower and embarking on a quest with a dragon companion. This four-issue series, crafted by writer Jeremy Whitley, stands out for its sharp, witty subversion of princess stereotypes and its celebration of self-reliance and sisterhood. It’s a fresh, empowering take that helped launch a beloved indie franchise.
