Hi There!
Associate Editor Mike Petranek here to say hello and share some exciting goings-on at Papercutz that have me jumping for joy! Not only will you be able to pick up the first two SMURFS graphic novels next Tuesday, but in three weeks the first volume of NANCY DREW THE NEW CASE FILES #1 will arrive too! With the DISNEY FAIRIES buzzing around the office (giving poor GERONIMO STILTON no chance for a cheese-break) and those little blue Smurfs always up to something, we’ve been extra busy in August and having a blast! It’s been fun sliding from one project to the next and everyone seems to be enjoying it — well, almost everyone…
So with that said, let me take the chance to share with you some news and reviews of our upcoming releases!
From Fusion Magazine to Animation World Magazine there has been a lot of buzz about our SMURFS graphic novels. I hope that you have as much fun and laughs as I did helping to edit them when you dive into these great collections of comics. I have to thank Adam Grano at Fantagraphics for doing such a great job putting these together, as well as Janice Chiang for breathing new life into the lettering and our Editor in Chief Jim Salicrup for bringing these great little fellas back!
I booted up my computer this morning to find that The Huffington Post named CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #9 “The Jungle” one of the best graphic novel adaptations of classic books – EVER! That was a great way to start my morning! Jump over here to get more info on “The Jungle.”
That’s all I’ve got time for right now. Check out Rick and Stefan’s blogs below for more info on TALES FROM THE CRYPT and PAPERCUTZ SLICES. Warning: do not drink milk while reading Rick Parker’s blog entries as laughter can cause it to shoot out your nose. Until next time, thanks for stopping by!
