Walt Disney + Marvel Comics = Twisted Princesses?
In late August pretty much everyone lost their shizz when the news came out that The Walt Disney Company was acquiring Marvel Comics for $4 billion mainly because there was a huge fear that Disney would interfere with Marvel and ruin those characters. BUT, what if the reverse actually happened and Marvel was able to influence the nice, sweet Disney characters instead. Illustrator Jeffrey Thomas envisions what Disney characters might look like if they received the Marvel Comics treatment … here are a few of the Twisted Princesses that he envisions:
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if instead of Disney’s wussification of Marvel’s characters, the tables were turned and instead Marvel turned the Disney princesses into Skrull invaders and zombies like this Dark Little Mermaid? All the images are by illustrator Jeffrey Thomas, who’s as twisted as he is brilliant. Please oh please can’t we at least get a comic book out of these images?
Aren’t these illustrations fantastic? I love mashing up characters like this … seeing the Disney Princesses in a more dark light only highlights their personalities, I think. Some of them look evil (ie. Ariel the Little Mermaid) but some of them just look more realistic and strong (ie. Pocahontas). I LOVE these illustrations. I urge you to visit Thomas’s website HERE to see these illustrations in higher resolution … they’re really amazing. One can only hope that the marriage between Disney and Marvel might bring to fruition an alliance like this … my guess is that it won’t really happen but it’s nice to wish … upon a star.

Is it wrong that I prefer these versions over the original ones? I love seeing how different artist draw certain things(characters and such) With their own art style. Its interesting

NOOOOOO!!!!! I don’t like the scary princesses! I like the little girly ones WAY better… Granted I am a 5 year old in a 25 year old body… so I understand that I am definitely the minority. ;)

@senko — If you like the Snow White illustration, you should read this vignette written by Neil Gaiman which paints the Snow White character in an entirely new, dark light: http://www.holycow.com/dreaming/stories/snow-glass-apples
