Rapunzel

In the early 2010s, Wildfeuer Verlag offered a compact three-issue reimagining of the classic fairy tale with Rapunzel (2012–2014). This German comic series strips away the Disney gloss to present a more grounded, moody take on the imprisoned maiden, focusing on the isolation and quiet defiance at the story's core. While the series is brief, it stands as a notable example of European publishers refreshing familiar folklore with a darker, more character-driven sensibility.
