Princeless is a four-issue miniseries written by Jeremy Whitley and drawn by M. Goodwin. The series is a play on the conventional fairy tale genre in which the princess is always rescued by the handsome prince. In Princeless, those conventions are thrown out the window and are refocused and shifted a bit. The princess in this story, Adrienne, believes that these typical fairy tales are a bunch of lies. She feels that no one should have to wait and be rescued by a prince. So, when she turns sixteen she decides to be the rescuer rather than the rescued.
