Based on a comic series of the same name, Paper Girls arrived on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, July 29, 2022. It tells the story of four 12-year-old paper girls — Erin, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ — on a time-travelling adventure in the late 1980s, when girls usually delivered newspapers in Cleveland, Ohio.
The comic series was written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated (作插图) by Cliff Chiang. According to Chiang, the series explores questions of identity all young people face. "When you're 12," he said, "you're starting to ask yourself, ‘Who do I want to be?' And that's a question that follows you throughout your life."
Chiang, a famous illustrator, was thrilled to draw strong female characters in Paper Girls. He liked the book so much that he decided to revisit the world of the book by drawing pictures for it. "They're changing themselves," he said, "and they also stand for so much potential (潜力) to change the world. Because there's always something broken that they need to fix, and hopefully fix for the better." He said it looks at diversity (多样性) in a new way. "Diversity is so important," Chiang said. "It just shows you that the world has always been diverse."
"Wherever you look, there is a woman in power," said actor Nate Corddry, who plays Larry Radakowski in the time-travel adventure. "The biggest thing is that this lesson that women can run every department is being sent down to the girls." Actress Camryn Jones agreed. The 15-year-old plays paper girl Tiffany. "There's a heavy female influence on this project," she said.
