Paper Girls was a 30-issue (October 2015 to July 2019) creator-owned Image Comics series written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Cliff Chiang.Early on the morning of All Saint's Day 1988,note That's the day after Halloween, for any non-Catholics out there. 12 year old Erin Tieng goes on her normal newspaper delivery route in a Cleveland suburb only to be menaced — and then rescued — from some teenage boys with dubious intentions by a trio of other paper girls who have banded together for mutual protection from any lingering Halloween craziness. That's when things start to get strange.In July 2019, it was announced that Amazon was developing a series adaptation for Prime Video; Vaughan co-produced. The series premiered on July 29, 2022.Tropes:

Arc Symbol
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_11e0d645
comment
Arc Symbol: Representations of and references to apples show up everywhere, from Erin's dreams to an Apple Records t-shirt. Even Erin's name, which is rather Irish sounding for an Asian-American girl, is awfully close to Eris, the Greek goddess who created the original Apple of Discord. However, despite all of the apple-related imagery, no actual apples (the fruit) have shown up in the comic. Early issues are also sprinkled with references to the shootings of John Lennon and Ronald Reagan, and the Challenger Explosion. Even Christa McAuliffe of the Challenger shows up in Erin's Dying Dream, though Chiang drew her wearing a spacesuit and helmet (which the crew didn't during the flight) out of respect to her memory.

 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_130436b9
comment
Annoying Younger Sibling: Erin has a typically frustrating relationship with her little sister Missy. Making it even more annoying when she travels to 2016 and learns that Missy became a Medevac pilot, which to a 12 year old seems way cooler than her adult self's job at the Preserver. However, she is comforted by realizing they're still best friends.

Troubled Sympathetic Bigot
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_1c090ec2
comment
Troubled Sympathetic Bigot: Mac. Tiffany dismisses her homophobic insults as just her way of speaking to "the herbs" (teenage boys) in a language that they understand, but it gradually becomes apparent she doesn't have the greatest home life and is just repeating the slurs and attitudes she's learned at home. It also causes her to treat KJ harshly after KJ confesses that she might be gay. She even shoves KJ down at one point when KJ tries to give her a (comforting, not romantic) hug, but her attitude slowly changes when she realizes that KJ really only thinks of her as a friend. Any changes in their relationship from their kiss in issue #25 will have to wait until or if they're ever reunited.

Adam and Eve Plot: Thoroughly subverted. One high school boy sees the invasion as his big chance to finally get the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately for him she has never liked him much, thinks he's a total creep for even thinking of such things at a time like this and wants nothing to do with him — shortly before the invaders kidnap them both and render the whole idea moot anyway

Girl on Girl Is Hot: Played with in issue #13. KJ touches a device that puts her into a trance and shows her visions of a future, including one scene where she and Mac are kissing in a definitely romantic way. After Mac breaks the connection KJ warns her not to touch it, presumably so Mac won't see that, though her motives in keeping this secret are as yet unknown.

Anguished Declaration of Love: Platonic example. Though it seems like Mac and her step-mother Alice don't really get along, when Alice is about commit suicide, Mac is visibly distraught, calls her "mom" (perhaps for the first time), and tells Alice she loves her in a desperate attempt to dissuade the woman from pulling the trigger, while also trying to wrestle the gun away.

Stable Time Loop: Another possible explanation for 2016!Erin's Laser-Guided Amnesia. Also, the message on KJ's field hockey stick that 1988!Erin finds turns out to have been written by her because she'd already found it. And in issue #26, we learn the entire series has been one, as everything the girls do over the course of their adventures led to a utopian peace between the Teens and Adults; they just had to have those experiences first.

Bittersweet Ending: The girls are returned to November 1, 1988 with only the barest impressions of memories making themselves known in quickly forgotten dreams, but instead of going their separate ways at the end of their shift, they decide to hang out some more, insinuating that they may continue to team up instead of riding solo the way they did in the original timeline. Mac is still seemingly fated to die, however, but at least she no longer knows and can't worry about it happening.

Teen Pregnancy

comment
Teen Pregnancy: If the gang are correctly judging Wari the archer in 11,706 BCE to be around their age, then she obviously had a preteen pregnancy. Given that none of the four are interested in boys yet and that teen pregnancy was much more scandalous in the '80s than the modern era, they're understandably a little squicked by the realization. Even more so once Wari reveals that her son is the child of a gang-rape.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mac. She's snarky, calls the other girls names on occasion, gets angry easily, and is extremely homophobic, but it's quickly apparent that most of her behavior is a side effect of her having a troubled family. She's also very protective of her friends, gets tears in her eyes when KJ remembers exactly how they met, and is able to keep Erin alive after she was shot for long enough for them to get help. In issue #25, she realizes how much KJ cares for her (as a friend) and this is seemingly enough to break down the last vestiges of her homophobia.

Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Erin thinks Mac is cool for insisting "our routes, our rules" as she spurns company policy by refusing to deliver a paper to the guy who stiffed her the previous month.

Happily Adopted
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_48e8fe57
comment
Happily Adopted: Tiffany, probably from somewhere in Central America based on her appearance. Central America was the source for adopted children in the 80's just as was Russia in the '90s and China in the early 2000s. Further supported by her statement that she's taken three years of Spanish (a girl who was an immigrant from a Spanish-speaking country or whose family were immigrants certainly wouldn't need to learn the language in school) and later confirmed in issue #13 when Tiffany says she was given up for adoption because her birth mother was only seventeen years old.

Kansas City Shuffle: In the future, Wari tells the girls about a previous visit by 1988!Erin, who later manages to find a detailed plan she apparently wrote. But when the girls make it to the indicated place, it turns out to have been a swerve by FutureClone!Erin, who took advantage of Wari's declining mental capacity to pretend to be 1988!Erin.

Big Damn Kiss: Remember the vision KJ had in issue #13 of her and Mac standing on a rooftop in the future and kissing? It finally happens in issue #25. It's made all the more affecting because it's the culmination of the two realizing both the depths of their friendship and the possibility that they might feel a different way about each other. To top it all off, the kiss is actually initiated by the previously homophobic Mac, who'd spent the last eight issues being a complete and total bitch to KJ after KJ confessed she was gay.

Badass Normal: In the original timeline, KJ was certainly this. She willingly attracts the attention of men she knows to be rapists so the other girls can run, later kills one of the men by bashing his skull in with a stone club, and unflinchingly stands up to someone pointing a gun in her face. And she's only 12 years old. Subverted in issue #30 when the Reset Button'd timeline means she is the one the three boys corner instead of Erin, and she doesn't yet have the self-confidence of her other self.

Most Writers Are Adults: The girls are all 12, but talk like longshoremen...or just like 12-year-old kids who are trying to act tough. Lampshaded when 1988!Erin becomes upset by 2016!Erin's constant swearing because she admits she and her friends swear because they're trying to act cool and seeing her grownup self still doing it is disturbing, not realizing how normalized casual profanity has become in the modern era.

In issue #19, 2000!Tiffany tells her younger self that once shows like America's Most Wanted became popular, her parents forced her to quit being a paper girl, and without that connection, she and the other girls drifted apart.

Wham Issue: Vaughn seems to love putting them every 5 issues. At the end of issue #5, Erin, Mac and Tiffany get separated from KJ and end up in 2016, where they meet Erin's future self. At the end of issue #10, Erin, Mac and Tiffany are reunited with KJ, but they're now all in the year 11,706 BCE. At the end of issue #15, being near another time-travel device when it activates has separated the girls again, with Tiffany arriving at a version of January 1, 2000, where Y2K actually happened and caused a nationwide blackout. And with Giant Mechas in the background. At the end of issue #18, it's revealed that Grand Father is actually Jahpo. At the end of issue #25, the girls have been separated throughout time again: Tiffany is sent further into the future, KJ ends up in 1958, Mac is in the far-distant future, and Erin is in 2018.

Set Right What Once Went Wrong
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_93ed8515
comment
Set Right What Once Went Wrong: On a macro level, the girls set out to save their town. On a micro level, 2016!Erin warns 1988!Erin against withdrawing from the world and never seeing any of the other girls again like she did after her own 1988 "Hell Morning", though the Memory-Wiping Crew may have had something to do with that. Similarly, when 2000!Tiffany performs her Heroic Sacrifice, she warns her younger self to "take care of your friends, and whatever you do, don't settle."

First Period Panic
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_9588c44b
comment
First Period Panic: Averted when KJ gets her first period in issue #12 after the gang travels to 11,706 BCE. Amusingly, Mac ends up being the one who's more affected by the situation (a preteen girl experiencing her menarche while stranded in the distant past, and with no feminine supplies) than KJ, though issue #13 makes it clear this is mostly because KJ is well-informed enough to stay calm; as she puts it: "I got my period, not the plague." Mac unfortunately only got a gym teacher who told her that talking of such things was "unladylike", and she spends most of the issue peppering KJ with questions about it, much to KJ's annoyance.

Time Police: According to Charlotte, The Adults see themselves as this. They're trying to ensure that history still unfolds as they know it happened, while The Teens are attempting to change things. In issue #25, Grand Father insinuates that if things aren't put back the way they were, Earth could cease to exist.

Mundane Object Amazement: Coming from an era of (at best) TVs with 480i analog resolution, the girls are transfixed by the clarity of the image on 2016!Erin's 46-inch 1080p Sony HDTV. 1988!Erin says that "it's like 3D without the glasses", and 2016!Erin warns them that their reaction is freaking her out. Tiffany is also impressed by how many buttons the remote control has, and 1988!Erin asks how her future self was able to afford something so incredible.

Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_9e07f1f8
comment
Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be: The series is both nostalgic and realistic, pointing out some of the less glamorous parts of the '80s such as the casual homophobia. Erin's Dying Dream reveals she's nostalgic for fifth grade, i.e. last year, because that's when she still had friends other than her little sister and her pen pal. Any parent can tell you that fifth grade is the last stage of childhood before children (and particularly girls) start coalescing into cliques and dividing up into "in" and "out" crowds. The alien script title of issue #2 translates to "Nostalgia is Death".

Dramatically Missing the Point: 1988!Erin hears "Mom's in heaven" and being a good little Catholic schoolgirl (as well as being primed by a nightmare she'd had the night before) assumes the speaker is being literal and not figurative. And if just Mom is in heaven, what happened to Dad?note  2016!Erin had meant their mother was in heaven emotionally i.e. happy, because their younger sister Missy is engaged to a doctor while Erin herself is still single.

Alternate History: The four grown-up counterparts of the girls that show up in issue #26 say that they've made millions of attempts to rewrite the time stream and prevent the girls from finding the time machine in issue #1, but always fail. In issue #30, they finally succeed, as with the Adult/Teen war over, there are no travelers to steal Tiffany's walkie-talkie, i.e. for the girls to look for, i.e. for them to think they might be hiding in a basement.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Mac is prone to offhand homophobic comments because casual homophobia was considered normal in the 80s. She also smokes cigarettes, which supposedly eventually contributes to her death from leukemia in the '90s. All of this helps establish her as the redneck girl from the Wrong Side of the Tracks. Erin mentions that Mac isn't just a papergirl, she's "the first paperboy who wasn't a...you know". Younger readers might be surprised to learn that the glass ceiling was that low in 1988. Tiffany was her church's first altar girl, making her, as KJ says, "the Amelia Earhart of crap that doesn't matter". Erin also mentions (in a discussion of Halloween candy of all things) that her neighbors don't like her family, likely due to good ol' middle-American racism.

Write Back to the Future: Actually "writing" back from the future in the form of an Apple-logo'd virtual reality device. In another unusual variant, the VR device leads them to KJ's field hockey stick sticking halfway out of a small time fold at the abandoned mall. While the stick itself is a message of sorts (KJ is okay and in another time) they also find a (confusing) message scratched into the stick after they retrieve it.

Near-Rape Experience
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_ae4845db
comment
Near-Rape Experience: A low-key example. In issue #1 Erin runs into three teenage boys in the middle of their Halloween mischief, and when they find out she goes to Catholic school, one of them seems a little too enthusiastic about that, commenting "grass on the field..."note For those who don't know, the phrase being referenced is "If there's grass on the field, play ball." It's a rather misogynistic statement which conflates the false equivalence that an adolescent girl's physical maturity (i.e. being old enough to have a full growth of pubic hair, which Erin, at just 12, almost certainly would not) means she's emotionally or psychologically mature enough to make an informed decision about the repercussions of engaging in sexual activities.

My Life Flashed Before My Eyes: Happens to Tiffany while she's being strangled by an alien, which bothers her a lot because it's mostly just hours spent obsessively playing Arkanoid, though it's implied by the name of this particular monster (an "Editer") that showing you things that you don't like about yourself is exactly what it does. Played with later when KJ finds another piece of future technology; when she touches it, a possible future life flashes before her eyes, including a vision of Grand Father holding Erin at gunpoint and her and Mac kissing.

The '80s

comment
The '80s: The comic is explicitly set in 1988 and is filled with Eighties pop culture references. 1988 was the election year marking the end of the Reagan administration. The Cold War was still going on amid a great deal of fear-mongering that the Soviets were actually winning. It was also the high watermark of analog culture. Personal computers were still rare and the internet was just a pipe dream. CD players were still a relatively new and exotic technology. Most people still got their music on LP or cassettes and their news from newspapers which were still delivered by Free-Range Children in the predawn darkness.

Informed Judaism: KJ snarks that the Catholic Tiffany's comment about her being a heathen is "so anti-Semitic". Later she makes reference to not having had her bat mitzvah yet (meaning that since she's 12, her family are probably Reform Jewish, who don't observe the ceremony until a girl's 13th birthday), and at the beginning of issue #11 has a nightmare which starts off as a memory of some girls at Brentwood taunting her by claiming that the "K" in her name stands for "kike" (it really stands for "Karina"). In the same nightmare, she has a short talk with her grandmother, a Holocaust survivor whose serial number tattoo is clearly visible.

Shout-Out: Erin and Missy have a The Monster Squad poster in their bedroom. Erin has a Depeche Mode poster from the 1987 Music for the Masses tour above her bed. Erin also has a Far Side page-a-day calendar which depicts an actual Far Side cartoon and may just show the correct cartoon for November 1, 1988. Ronald Reagan appears to Erin in a Dying Dream based on Peanuts TV specials (she gets better). She's even shown with Charlie Brown's characteristic facial expression at one point. The "alien invasion" setup (far future time travelers scavenging resources and people from the past) is a Whole-Plot Reference to the 1983 John Varley novel/1989 movie Millennium (1983). 1988!Erin tells 2016!Missy that she looks straight out of Airwolf

Rage Breaking Point
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_c819533b
comment
Rage Breaking Point: When FutureClone!Erin attacks 2016!Erin, 1988!Erin teams up with Tiffany to knock FutureClone!Erinthrough a fold back into the future. Issue #18 reveals that Grand Father was much less militant as a younger man, until a woman called Prioress was killed in a Teen attack. Whatever his feelings for her were, in the wake of her death, he authorized the unilateral use of lethal force.

Trust Password: 2016!Erin asks several very personal questions in a row to verify that 1988!Erin is who she claims to be. Subverted in that 1988!Erin doesn't know the answer to the first one (her social security number), and the last one isn't a Trust Password at all, it's a genuine question that 2016!Erin has always wondered about.

Spiritual Antithesis
 Paper Girls (Comic Book) / int_ce2969d8
comment
Spiritual Antithesis: To Stranger Things, which, despite having similar aesthetics, is deeply critical of the very concept of nostalgia itself, multiple times doing things bout to make people question this line of thinking. Also, while Stranger Things is a horror with a lot of fantastical elements, series with majority male cast, Paper Girls is a firmly a hard science-fiction story with all four main characters being female. It also doesn't shy of portraying things like homophobia, bullying, underage smoking, and other negative aspects of the '80s zeitgeist that Stranger Things tends to gloss over.

Outof Focus: Erin. She was the main character in earlier issues, but after issue #10 she stays in the background and most of the time is given to Mac and KJ. She does have a pretty important role in issues #23-#25, though.

No Sympathy for Grudgeholders: KJ snaps at Mac when Mac makes a derisive comment about her being gay. Understandable, since a Jewish girl in 1988 would not be having an easy time accepting something like that about herself.

Reset Button: Gets pressed hard at the end of issue #29: all of the girls adventures throughout the series get undone and they're returned to the morning of November 1, 1988, although the reason for this is that their actions led to a permanent end to the Adult/Teen war; they just had to have those experiences first.

Drugs Are Bad: 1988!Erin freaks out when she sees 2016!Erin pop a Xanax. It makes sense considering that she's been in school smack dab in the middle of the "Just Say No" campaign. Finding out that it's a prescription medication doesn't help calm her down any, since she immediately questions if her older self is ill.

comment
Ambiguously Gay: Played with a couple of ways. In issue #17, KJ tells Mac that she thinks she might be a lesbian, though the ambiguity disappears later when she decides she really is. However, the flash-forward in issue #13 of her kissing Mac seems to suggest this about Mac. Pretty much confirmed for Mac when she and KJ kiss in issue #25; a kiss which the previously homophobic Mac actually initiates.

Indy Ploy: Pulled by 1988!Erin when she sees the message "Don't trust other Erin" written on KJ's field hockey stick that's sticking out of a fold. She isn't sure who it refers to once another Erin who looks just like her shows up, but doesn't tell anyone about it until the other Erin (a FutureClone) tries to kill 2016!Erin, at which point she chooses to save her older self. Takes a meta turn when it's revealed in issue #13 that Erin herself is the one who wrote the message, since she knew what had already happened .

Erin's Dying Dream reveals she's nostalgic for fifth grade, i.e. last year, because that's when she still had friends other than her little sister and her pen pal. Any parent can tell you that fifth grade is the last stage of childhood before children (and particularly girls) start coalescing into cliques and dividing up into "in" and "out" crowds.

Death Seeker: Played with: Mac develops a mild case after learning the approximate year and supposed cause of her death. She rationalizes it with the statement that, since she knows when she's going to die, any other situation she finds herself in won't kill her. Tiffany doesn't seem to buy it and Mac finds her one death-seeking experience so terrifying it scares that attitude right out of her.
