Created by James Watson and launched in 2006, The Adventures of Paula Peril pays homage to classic 1910s silent film serials like The Perils of Pauline . Over two decades, the series has successfully bridged multiple mediums:

Paula Peril #19 is a polished example of the modern pulp revival. It strips away the sci-fi/fantasy elements of modern comics and returns to the gritty, shadowy world of noir investigation, anchored by a heroine who is as famous for her screams as she is for her headlines. It is a must-read for fans of classic adventure strips like Dick Tracy or Modesty Blaise .
