Oni Press will launch Princess Ugg, a new miniseries from Courtney Crumrin creator Ted Naifeh, in July, the company announced at New York Comic Con.
Princess Ugg tells the story of an adorable barbarian princess who is a fearsome warrior, but not a prim and proper princess. Her parents decide she needs a proper education, and send her to a finishing school. "She doesn’t necessarily take that very well,” said John Schork, a representative for Oni. Warren Wucinich, who was the colorist for Naifeh on the Courtney Crumrin hardcover reissues (see "Oni to Collect 'Courtney Crumrin'"), will collaborate with Naifeh on the project.
Naifeh is probably best known for his creation of the Eisner Award-nominated Courtney Crumrin and Polly and the Pirates for Oni, but his work also includes How Loathsome with Tristan Crane, as well as illustration work on both Gloomcookie by Serena Valentino and The Good Neighbors trilogy by Holly Black. He has also done illustration work on cards for Magic: The Gathering.
