I love this post on paper artist Sherry Wright’s blog about the adorable LEGO Ninjago-themed birthday party she planned for her son. Her little boy is very lucky.

In case you know someone who loves LEGO Ninjago, too, check out the first volume of our LEGO Ninjago graphic novel series (the second volume is coming in February!)

An interview with Stan Goldberg, artist on Papercutz’s upcoming Three Stooges graphic novel

Janna Morishima — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:04:12 +0000

Comic Book Resources recently posted a fascinating interview with Stan Goldberg, who is drawing Papercutz’s upcoming Three Stooges graphic novels. With his long history in American comics, Stan has worked with many of the most well-known companies and artists in the industry.

The Three Stooges graphic novel will be releasing at the same time as the Farrelly Brothers’ movie hits screens across the country on April 13, 2012. However, it is all-new material — not an adaptation of the movie or of previous Three Stooges films. If you know any kids who like slapstick humor, take a look!

Monster Mess: “a stroke of genius”

SLJ‘s Good Comics for Kids just posted an excellent little review of Monster Mess by Lewis Trondheim. As they put it, “Monsters and messes are two things kids love to make, so combining them into one book is a stroke of genius. Papercutz continues to bring out fun and interesting books that fit perfectly into any Elementary school/young reader library.”

Well, you certainly can’t go wrong with a comics master like Lewis Trondheim.

Hello World! from Janna at Papercutz

Janna Morishima — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:07:28 +0000

I just celebrated my first month anniversary as director of marketing at Papercutz. It’s great to be jumping in to a small company at such an exciting time in its development. Over the past few years, Papercutz has seen tremendous growth and has been very busy bring new graphic novel series to kids from The Smurfs to Geronimo Stilton to the Slices parodies — and their latest hit, the LEGO Ninjago series.

I am, and have always been, a major LEGO fan. Who couldn’t smile at the combination of ninja action adventure with LEGO mini-figure cuteness — and in comics format?

Right now I’m working on a revamp of the Papercutz website with designer extraordinaire Sandra Schmitt. Here’s a little sneak preview:

We’ll be unveiling the brand new site in late February….
