Tony Fleecs and Tim Seeley Reunite for a Twisted Fairy Tale in The Princess Murders

The creative team behind Local Man is swapping small-town noir for fractured fairy tales. Tony Fleecs and Tim Seeley are reuniting at Image Comics for The Princess Murders, a new series arriving December 9, 2026, that turns a fairy tale kingdom into a murder mystery.

The premise: a princess has been murdered, and it falls to her wicked stepsister and her fairy godmother — of all people — to hunt down the killer. Fleecs and Seeley are leaning into a campy, self-aware horror-comedy tone, closer to Enchanted or Barbie than Grimm, filtered through a slasher-movie whodunit structure.

It's familiar territory for Fleecs, who's built a niche blending cutesy, animated-style art with genuinely dark thriller stakes in books like Stray Dogs and Feral. Paired again with Seeley after their acclaimed Local Man run, this looks like another entry in that same playbook — just with a lot more glass slippers and a lot more blood.
