Princeless

A modern fairy-tale twist, Princeless launched from Action Lab Comics in 2013 as a four-issue series that upends the damsel-in-distress trope. Created by Jeremy Whitley with art by Emily Martin, it follows Princess Adrienne, who refuses to wait for rescue and instead takes her own fate—and her dragon—in hand. This spirited, all-ages adventure matters for its fresh, empowering take on princess stories, earning a devoted readership for its clever humor and inclusive message.
