Funny Comics!

As we posted last week, THE THREE STOOGES are coming to the big screen in April 2012. But the reason we’re talking about it on the Papercutz Blog is that the Stooges are also to returning to comics– right here at Papercutz! Picking up where the Farrelly Brothers-directed film leaves off, THE THREE STOOGES #1 “Bed Bugged!” features Moe, Larry, and Curly in all-new, full-color adventures written by George Gladir and illustrated by Stan Goldberg.

But that’s not all, we’re also publishing a deluxe hardcover series entitled THE BEST OF THE THREE STOOGES COMICBOOKS featuring great classic comics featuring Moe, Larry, Shemp, and Curly Joe! With comics written and illustrated by Norman Maurer, who went on to write, direct, and produce movies starring the Three Stooges, and by acclaimed comicbook artist and animator Pate Alvarado, there’s a lot of fun packed into these pages! Not to mention a special introduction by Joan Maurer, who also happen to be Moe’s daughter.

We’ll talk more about the Stooges tomorrow, but we have to send out a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lewis Trondheim! His birthday was yesterday, and we wish him all the best. It looks like folks are picking up copies of “Monster Christmas,” which is great news for everyone!

We hope to publish even more Trondheim graphic novels at Papercutz, but we can only do that with your support. If you haven’t picked up your copy of “Monster Christmas” yet, I suggest you act fast, as we’re already hearing that the title is selling out, and we’re now temporarily out of stock. We suspect many folks are picking it up as a holiday present for the comics fans in their lives, and we think that’s perfect! But even when the holidays are over, a Trondheim graphic novel is still a lot of fun.

More on the Stooges tomorrow!
