| PORTLAND, Ore. 07/17/2025 — The bestselling, five-time Eisner Award winning series Paper Girls by the New York Timesbestselling writer of Saga and legendary Catwoman: Lonely City artist Cliff Chiang will get a new look with the release of “Backpack Editions.” These eye-popping, compact editions will feature new cover artwork by Chiang and will measure 6×9 inches—the perfect trim-size to stow away in your backpack and pedal out of town with.
“I remain so proud of what my friends and I did with this series,” said Vaughan. “And these gorgeous ‘Backpack’ editions (check out that rad new cover!) are a great way to introduce this emotional young adult adventure to your loved ones, or to rediscover new details from our twisty time-travel tale for yourself.”
Vaughan will appear at San Diego Comic-Con next week on Saturday, July 26 from 10 – 11 a.m. for a Spotlight panel in Room 28DE where he will share details about his new original graphic novel with Niko Henrichon, Spectators, revelations concerning his ongoing series with Fiona Staples, Saga, and more. He will also be signing at the Image booth #1915.
In the early hours after Halloween of 1988, four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls—Erin, KJ, Mac, and Tiffany—uncover the most important story of all time. Stand By Me meets Lost in this beloved tale filled-to-the-brim with nostalgia, first jobs, time travel, and the last days of childhood. The series was adapted for television by Amazon Prime and starred Ali Wong.
