Starting Monday, February 23, kids can go online to www.papercutz.com/blog and interact with the creators of some of their favorite comic books and graphic novels. Papercutz -- a leading publisher of comics for kids and teenagers -- has arranged for the writers and artists behind its NANCY DREW, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, BIONICLE, and other books to talk with readers about how they create the comics.

From NANCY DREW: Writer Stefan Petrucha and artist Sho Murase.

From THE HARDY BOYS: Writer Scott Lobdell and artist Paulo Henrique.

From TALES FROM THE CRYPT: Writer-editor Jim Salicrup.

And, from time to time, a surprise guest or two.

In addition to comments from the books’ creators, the Papercutz blog will feature news features about upcoming Papercutz comics and advance word of events such as the appearances of Papercutz creators at comic-book conventions. If you want to know what’s going on, you’ll have to visit the Papercutz blog.
