Nostalgia is a powerful motivator. It’s easy to tie emotion into the tangible things that were once so important to us. There was never a decade which put more importance on “things” than did the 80’s. There is a trend in pop culture right now to hook audiences with the personal nostalgia we associate with that decade so obsessed with stuff: THE GOLDBERGS, COMIC BOOK MEN, the whole concept of retro gaming, etc. And while I just listed two of my favorite television shows – and you better believe I own the HD-remastings of DUCKTALES and STREET FIGHTER II, the aforementioned pieces of popular culture aren’t ground-breaking new concepts.
PAPER GIRLS, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan (writer
of SAGA and Y: THE LAST MAN) and Cliff Chiang (artist of BEWARE THE CREEPER and
WONDER WOMAN) delivers a new story peppered with enough nostalgic references
that readers will swear they’ve read it before, not having a clue of what is
coming on the next page.
