If you're a fan of the Royal family or of comics, this story is for you.

There's a brand new comic book coming out about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, leading up to the royal wedding next month. And there's a local connection.

Michael Frizell is the director of student learning services at Missouri State University, but he says he's also written about 60 comic books.

The new comic book about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is suddenly making news around the globe. "When I saw the video this morning, I was just stunned," says Frizell.

Michael Frizell wrote the comic, titled, The Royals: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but he doesn't even have a paper copy yet.

"I never really think about who might read it; I just try to do the best job that I'm able to do in the time allotted, and to make sure that I'm happy with the product," Frizell says.

He's been working with TidalWave comics for a few years now. "I reached out to Tidal Wave after they had sent me a query that said, are you interested in writing comic books? And of course I was. As a kid, I used to collect them. Ok, I say, I used to; I still do. I have a geek room at my house that my wife probably goes crazy about," says Frizell.

He says he was asked write to the images from a previous Prince Harry comic book, but all the illustrations involving Meghan are new.

"It's harder to take art that's already created for another script and make it fit, so that was the harder part of the book. The Meghan part was easy," says Frizell.

He did his research for the book, but admits he's not a "royal watcher."

"My wife is though," says Frizell. He says his wife's memories of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding gave him some perspective. "She said, as a young woman, watching this, it was like a fairy tale. So I'm thinking, this could have the same kind of effect. Meghan Markle seems to be a very interesting person and very genuine person, and I think that's appealing to a lot of us. And she's American, so we have an American princess, of sorts, so I think that's exciting too," Frizell says.

I checked a few stores and was not able to find copies of the new comic book here in Springfield, but you can order it online from Barnes and Noble. You'll find a link for the paperback version attached. The royal wedding is set for May 19th at Windsor Castle.
