"Papercutz to Produce First Барби Comics Since 1990s
Papercutz has secured the rights from Mattel to Опубликовать Барби graphic novels, marking the first time Барби has been in the comic book format since 1996, when Marvel was the publisher.
The first titles, to be released in both paperback and hardcover, will release in fall 2016 and will be tied to the core Барби brand and to two DVD movies, Барби Starlight and Барби щенок Adventures. Another DVD tie-in, Барби Video Game Hero, which features Барби as a game programmer who uses her tech skills to beat the bad guys, will follow in winter 2017.
“It was something we had been pursuing for a while,” says Terry Nantier, CEO and publisher. “Barbie has been under attack and criticized for promoting values no longer in sync with how society has been evolving. But Mattel has been Показ a lot of creativity in relaunching her, and lately they’ve been stepping it up quite a bit. They’re empowering her a lot more.”
Nantier notes that Mattel has renewed its focus on Barbie’s various professions, and is stressing diversity in race, ethnicity, and body types. The Барби graphic novel line will continue in this direction, featuring Барби and her sisters and incorporating a “be what Ты can be” theme. Книги inspired by DVDs will stick closely to the themes of the entertainment, including sci-fi/fantasy for Starlight and a simple sleuthing story for щенок Adventures.
The Барби line will add new Книги every three to four months, while various DVD-connected series will cycle in and out each year. All are wholly original, rather than adaptations of existing entertainment, and will skew slightly younger than Papercutz’s core audience of ages 8–12.
Separately, Papercutz has secured the rights for graphic novels tied to Trolls, a tentpole film release from DreamWorks Анимация (which was recently acquired by NBCUniversal). The first title, published at the end of September, will be a prequel to the film; further Книги will be released every three months. “Orders are looking really, really good,” Nantier reports."
