About the series
In Princess Ugg (2014–2015, Oni Press), Ted Naifeh both writes and illustrates a fish-out-of-water comedy where a barbarian princess from a rugged northern kingdom is sent to a finishing school for proper noble ladies. The series plays with culture clash and teenage awkwardness as the blunt, battle-ready Ülga navigates etiquette lessons, rivalries, and the absurdities of civilized court life. Naifeh’s signature gothic-cartooning style brings warmth and humor to this 8-issue run, which gently subverts fairy-tale tropes while exploring identity and belonging.
