One of my favorite comic series. I'm still behind on Raven: The Pirate Princess. This one-shot are stories about the noble Ashe family - Adrienne, Angelica, Prince Ash, and Angoisse.
One of things that makes this comic stand out for me is the fact that the illustrators understand that Black people come in many shades, something most of the media hasn't figured out or care to. Representation matters, and little dark-skinned children need to see themselves as heroes, especially little girls.
