Time Traveling Mice Sell A Million For Papercutz

Published Wed, 07 May 2014 19:00:41 -0500

All-ages publisher Papercutz have produced a series of graphic novels based on Geronimo Stilton, a time travelling mouse and his sister Thea Stilton. The characters have already sold over 88 million chapter books world wide, so seeing them do well in the comic book/graphic novel field isn't too surprising.

With the latest Thea Stilton release, The Treasure Of The Viking Ship, combined sales for the 13 volumes of Geronimo and 3 volumes of Thea have hit the one-million mark.

Papercutz Editor-in Chief Jim Salicrup: "The great thing about the GERONIMO STILTON characters is that they are equally appealing to boys and girls and to a variety of age groups. There's nothing to prevent a reader coming in to the series at any point. And the constantly changing settings, whether it's Columbus' sailing ships or the Lunar Lander, provide so many opportunities for new readers to come on board. I've heard many stories from parents about how a particular volume's setting or subject matter led a child to try that title and then they got hooked on the entire series!"

Papercutz will publish their 14th GERONIMO STILTON graphic novel "The First Mouse on the Moon" this June, just in time for the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing featured in the story. Their 4th THEA STILTON title, "Catching the Giant Wave" is set to follow in late September.
