For those of you reading this blog I've got to take a moment to acknowledge one of my favorite artists and Papercutz contributors: Rick Parker! You see, when I was a young Texan reading Beavis and Butthead comicbooks and Marvel Age Magazine in the early 90's, I had no idea I would one day work with so many people responsible for shaping (and in some cases rotting, ha ha) my young brain. One of the greatest things about working at Papercutz is that I now know and am friends with people I grew up reading and admiring like Jim Salicrup, Scott Lobdell, Stefan Petrucha, and Mr. Parker here. I'm lucky to work with them and all of the Papercutz contributors. If you could go back in time and tell 12 year-old Mike Petranek what he'd be doing in the future, he'd say "So...I have the coolest job in the world!?" I still think I pretty much do. Coincidentally, our Editor-In-Chief Jim Salicrup has written in his editorial page (found in the back of all Papercutz graphic novels) that "if [his] partner, Papercutz publisher Terry Nantier, were to magically go back in time, and tell 13 year-old Jim Salicrup that he was one day going to be the editor of NANCY DREW, THE HARDY BOYS, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, and CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED, he'd think Terry was out of his mind!" Just goes to show how much fun we have working on Papercutz graphic novels. Thanks for posting, Rick! -Mike The Editorial Assistant I’m not sure what could be better, Rick!
