''Estranged'' is a graphic novel series written and drawn by Ethan A. Aldridge.

"Edmund" and "the Childe" were swapped at birth. Now Edmund lives in secret as a changeling in the World Above, his fae powers hidden from his unsuspecting parents and his older sister, Alexis. The Childe lives among the fae in the World Below, where being a human makes him a curiosity at the royal palace.

But when the cruel sorceress Hawthorne seizes the throne, the Childe and Edmund must unite on a dangerous quest to save both worlds—even if they’re not sure which world they belong to.

!! This comic provides examples of the following tropes:

* {{Abusive Alien Parents}}: The fairy king and queen are a fantasy version of this. The Childe's prequel strip has them send him against a monster just for funsies.
* ChangelingTale
* DragonHoard: It's actually just a box. Apparently all that's important is that the ''dragon'' thinks it's valuable.
* EvilPrince: Hawthorne is the DistaffCounterpart. Granted, her brother was a jerk too, but she also wants to eliminate both of his potential heirs.
* {{Golem}}: Whick is a golem made of wax. He can only move when his wick is lit.
* IChooseToStay: The first book ends with [[spoiler:Edmund, now calling himself Cinder, choosing to rule the World Below]].
* ItIsDehumanizing: The fairy king and queen refer to the Childe as "it."
* MilhollandRelationshipMoment: Edmund lives in fear of what his human family will say if they ever figure out that he's not their real child. He's practically moved to tears when Alexis finds out and, while certainly shocked, quickly decides that he and the Childe are ''both'' her little brothers.
* NeverGivenAName: The Childe, at least by his fairy parents. He's kind of bitter that Whick was deemed worthy of one while he wasn't. [[spoiler:The first book ends with him taking his birth name, Edmund, while fairy!Edmund returns to the World Below]].
* NoInfantileAmnesia: Fairies apparently don't have any, at least, which is how Edmund knows his origin. Alexis is pretty {{Squick}}ed when he admits that he can remember his actual birth.
