''The Courageous Princess'' is a comic book written and drawn by Rod Espinosa, published by Antarctic Press. The story consists of fairy tale lands, princes, and princesses. The books had been discontinued for a few years, but now Rod is continuing his work on the series. Some of Rod Espinosa's other stories are ''Neotopia'', and ''The Alamo''. ==Story== A princess that isn't the fairest in the land, gets captured by an evil dragon and, lacking princes to rescue her, decides to escape on her own. The story takes place in the land of a hundred kingdoms. Princess Mabelrose lives in the small kingdom of New Tinsley, raised by her kind parents, King Jeryk, and Queen Helena. At the beginning of the story, Mabelrose is invited to a ball in the kingdom of Warwick. Unlike most fairy tales, when she arrives at the ball, the other princesses made fun of her uncouth, un-princess-like features, and her clothes, and the prince never even noticed her. She decides to make the ball more "entertaining" by letting loose a frog and causing chaos at the ball. Later, she tells her parents about the horrible experience that she has had at Warwick, and asks to be excused. She is then kidnapped by a fearsome dragon named Shalathrumnostrium, using his power of making her feel weak. His hobby is to kidnap princesses for their parents' gold. Since there is no hope for a noble prince to rescue Mabelrose, she decides to escape on her own, despite Shalathrumnostrium telling her all about the dangers that princes have to go through, and telling her that no one would come to rescue a princess like her, since she is not the fairest in the land. She plans to escape just until a noble prince, or her father, King Jeryk can rescue her. When she is caught in a bush of magic thorns, she meets a talking porcupine named Spiky. He is one of the "anifolk", animals who can walk and talk like real humans. Although Shalathrumnostrium keeps chasing her to bring her back to his castle, she escapes every time. In the story, she meets lots of new friends, and enemies as well. She learns new things every day, and is staying in the kingdom of Leptia, but in her heart, she still dreams of home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Courageous Princess」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
