At this point they may as well add the release dates of Brian K. Vaughan's new titles to the list of national holidays, so circle worthy are they on our calendars. Vaughan's latest, Paper Girls, traverses the early mornings and front stoops of 1988 Cleveland, OH, as seen through the eyes of four young paper delivery girls. Joined by the stellar art team of penciller Cliff Chiang and colorist Matt Wilson, Paper Girls is a lovely start to a coming of age tale full of surprises, and one that makes good on utilizing its extended page count.
Solicits of Paper Girls have billed the read as Stand By Me meets War of the Worlds, and issue #1 is quick to embrace said comparisons. To say much more would verge on spoiler territory, but suffice to say Paper Girls is far from what you'd expect, Vaughan blending his more traditional coming of age tale with an intriguing sci-fi bent. The best part of said mix is how little it informs the direction of the issue as a whole. Even with the many strange occurrences happening within the books loaded pages, Vaughan never once ceases to put his characters first. He uses the double-sized issue to cram in as much character work as possible, ensuring that each of the four paper girls – Erin, Mac, Tiffany and K.J. – are gifted their own unique personality and voice.
