When the news first broke, there was some confusion as to whether Lower Decks’ voice actors Tawny Newsome (“Marnier”) and Jack Quaid (“Boimler”) would be animated or show up in live action. It turns out that Captain Pike himself, Anson Mount, was initially confused as well.

When writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Cliff Chiang began work on their comic book series Paper Girls back in 2015, they had no idea that a version of the story would make it to the small screen. Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, however, eagerly took their material and adapted it into a television series.

I had the chance to talk with Vaughan and Chiang about how the TV adaptation came to be, what it was like for them to see the characters they created on screen, and whether the two may collaborate on another project in the future.

An Empowering Twist on a Classic: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Tue Jul 26, 2022 3:00pm 2 comments Favorite This

H.G. Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau has seen its share of retellings and adaptations since it was first published in 1896. Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is another one of these retellings, but to simply categorize as such does this story an injustice.
