Amanda Deibert & Cat Staggs get spooky in THE POWERPUFF GIRLS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

DEANNA DESTITO: How did you come up with the story for this one?

AMANDA DEIBERT: Halloween is SUCH an inspiring holiday and one our family loves so it was easy to let my imagination run wild. I thought it would be fun to let Cat play with different styles so the idea of Buttercup trying to create a horror comic within a horror comic gave us both a lot of room to play!

DESTITO: What is your favorite part about playing in the Powerpuff world?

DEIBERT: They are such fun characters! I adore the Powerpuff Girls AND the villains, so the whole thing is a joy.

CAT STAGGS: It’s a franchise I’ve loved for a long time. I enjoy how clever it is, and getting to draw them is such a career bucket list item for me!

DESTITO: Can fans jump in with this comic or do they need to read the other series too?

DEIBERT: It is totally a stand-alone! But read them all because they are fun!

DESTITO: Are there any new villains to add to PPG’s infamous rogues’ gallery?

DEIBERT: No, but there are tons of the gallery in here… and some may be drawn in a way you’ve never seen before. 

DESTITO: Favorite moment in this story?

DEIBERT: I love the meta moments where we get pulled out of one story and into another. Cat CRUSHED it. The ending is my absolute favorite part. 

STAGGS: I love all the Easter eggs we put in this one, and the Mojo Jojo pages were so fun to draw!
