Tony Fleecs Turns Fairy Tales Into Slasher Horror in The Princess Murders

NOV 4, 202666 MIN

Description

What if a Disney princess movie turned into a blood-soaked slasher? Tony Fleecs, the creative mind behind comics like Stray Dogs, Feral, and Local Man, returns to the show to talk about The Princess Murders, his new Image Comics series with Tim Seeley that combines animated fairy tales with Italian horror. Tony explains why he loves turning childhood nostalgia into nightmares, how he and Tim incorporated musical numbers into a comic book, and what makes their creative partnership work. We also discuss the continued success of Feral, his work on DC's Deathstroke, the realities of publishing creator-owned comics through Image, and why he once visited 50 comic shops across the country. The Princess Murders #1 hits shops December 9, 2026. Ask your local comic shop to order a copy before the November 9 final order cutoff!
