Six panel comic showing Rapunzel cutting her floor-length braid to become a 1920s flapper jazz singer
This whimsical fairy tale reimagining comic follows Rapunzel walking through a rainy vintage Edwardian city, visiting a barber to cut her impossibly long golden braid, then altering her black gown into a roaring 20s flapper dress. The warm painterly illustration uses rich deep blacks, soft golden tones and retro styling, with a playful hopeful mood celebrating personal reinvention. The final panel shows the newly short-haired Rapunzel performing as a jazz singer in a speakeasy with a live band.
