Prince of Mars 4

Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away a good king died, and his only son, the young prince was left behind to grieve in sorrow. Meanwhile, the king's evil counselor Tyrannosauron and the king's mean cousin Fradulentus the Vicious seized the power over the kingdom, and locked the young princeling away in a prison cell at the top of the ramshackle Tower of Harpies - for his own protection, of course, and only until he comes of age - of course.

However, the good Fairy Godmother is there to help the young princeling. she brings him food and water and magically enchants a little owl to be his friend and protector in times of need. Also, she embezzles large amounts of money from the king's treasury to promote the young princeling in the public, by advertising in tabloid magazines and pulp media so that the people slowly start demanding to see the young prince!

...man, already four panels and we're still not yet on Mars! This story sucks!
