Adrienne, like so many princesses born unto fantasy kingdoms, is locked away in a tower for her teenage years. Watching one would-be suitor after another attempt to slay the dragon downstairs isn’t the girl’s idea of a good time. When she discovers an enchanted sword under her bed, Adrienne decides to strike out on her own to rescue her sisters from their own prisons and put an end to this tiresome tradition once and for all.
Disney could take more than a few cues from Jeremy Whitley and M. Goodwin’s PrinceLess, a refreshing response to the frustratingly persistent damsel in distress genre. But the series is more than mere sendup, offering a vibrant and thoughtful adventure that never talks down to its all-ages audience. If there’s a kid in your life, they deserve to experience high fantasy from another angle, where tired gender roles are deconstructed and important questions are posed. Readers of all kinds will be thrilled to find smart, active characters ready to save the day. No more fainting couches.
PrinceLess is fun, funny and brimming with adventure. It takes an all-too familiar fairy-tale setting and breaks down time-honored stereotypes and cliches one by one. What remains is a bold heroine far more compelling than the pile of princes left smoldering in her wake.
You can grab all four issues of PrinceLess today on Graphicly.

this does look interesting, but you guys forgot the disclaimer about who own iFanboy.
Can I pick it up in print do you know offhand?
We’ve never included the disclaimer in the Spotlight feature, but in the future I can do so.
You can purchase PrinceLess in print for $3.99 per issue. $1.99 on Graphicly.
you don’t need to do it for me and thank you for the reply. I just want you guys to be covered love this site is all!
Thank you for the info Paul!!
I ‘internet know’ the artist on this. She’s a class act who’s going places. I can’t wait to get the trade collection in my mitts (which solicited in Feb’s Previews btw. Still might be time to preorder that).
thanks man I’ll ask at my shop on Tuesday!
This sounds like what I’ve been searching for for my daughter. I will track down the print version.
The preview was pretty adorable.
I’ll have copies at Image Expo, Wondercon and ECCC and Action Lab will be at a ton of conventions this year if you can’t track down the floppys, and the trade will be out at the end of April. Oooh, and the trade has a Skullkickers crossover!
Just bought the first issue. This looks good. I’m always happy to have more cool, different books in my life.
I pre-ordered the first trade, which comes out in April.
