Hi Everbody!
This is editorial assistant Mike Petranek here to share some photos and articles from San Diego Comic Con 2009 with you! We had a blast, even though not everyone could make it this year with the economy and scheduling conflicts.
First off, Geronimo Stilton made the biggest splash at Comic Con, followed very closely by TALES FROM THE CRYPT #13 “Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid”. Here’s a couple of articles that mention us:
Publisher’s Weekly: San Diego Not Just for Grown-Ups
School Library Journal: Good comics for Kids
Of course, we love the recognition but stress that our comics and graphic novels are for people of all ages. We hope that the audience for Geronimo Stilton ranges from age 4 to age 84!
I carried around a small camera and took some pictures at our booth. Here’s a chance to see some of your favorite Papercutz contributors in action!
HARDY BOYS writer Scott Lobdell and NANCY DREW artist Sho Murase
Miran Kim, artist of the upcoming TALES FROM THE CRYPT story “DieLite”, with Editor-in-Chief Jim Salicrup.
From left to right: TALES FROM THE CRYPT artist Rick Parker, Jim Salicrup, TALES FROM THE CRYPT writer and artist Mort Todd, and Editorial Assistant Mike Petranek…Or as Rick would say, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse” (ha ha!)
Publisher Terry Nantier with Eisner Award-winner Rick Geary, adaptor of CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #1 “Great Expectations” and #2 “The Invisible Man”.
BIONICLE scribe and huge Yankees fan Greg Farshtey with Jim.
Some big fans of CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #3 “Through the Looking-Glass”
Me, at home, uploading pictures for your enjoyment after landing back in New York at 6:30am. Don’t I look cheery?
I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look at our trip to San Diego. TALES FROM THE CRYPT comicbook #13 “Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid”, BIONICLE #6 “The Underwater City”, and NANCY DREW #18 “City Under the Basement” are all in stores now! Don’t let Summer pass you by without checking out the newest titles from Papercutz. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, Mike, can you imagine if one night those guitars hanging on your walls started to play — by themselves?!
Well, stranger things have happened…Wait. Now that I think about it, nothing that strange has happened! I think I would freak out, and run out of my apartment screaming like a little girl…Or see if the ghosts playing the guitars wanted to start a band!
