Rapunzel's Revenge Books in Order

This series takes a familiar fairy tale and sends it galloping into a wild western landscape. In Rapunzel's Revenge, Rapunzel grows up in a walled garden, only to discover that the woman she trusted is using magic and power to control the land beyond. When Rapunzel finally escapes, she does not wait around to be rescued.

Instead, she turns her famously long hair into a tool, a weapon, and sometimes a lasso, then heads out across deserts, towns, forests, and outposts to set things right. Along the way she teams up with Jack, a trickster with a good heart and a talent for getting into trouble. Their partnership gives the story much of its spark.

The fairy tale bones are old, but the mood is pure adventure.

Calamity Jack keeps the shared world going by shifting focus to Jack and the unfinished business in his own past. That makes the duology feel broader than a simple retelling. Rapunzel's story matters, but so do the side roads, tall tales, and people trying to remake themselves.

Nathan Hale's art does a lot of the heavy lifting here. The panels move fast, the settings feel dusty and big, and the action stays readable even when things get chaotic. The books are funny, energetic, and kid-friendly, but they do not flatten the injustice at the center of the story. Freedom, power, and responsibility all matter.

If you want graphic novels with real momentum, a memorable heroine, and a fairy tale retelling that prefers rope swings and showdowns to castle balls, this is a very easy series to hand to the next reader.
