Deibert and Staggs discussed the new book with The Beat.
DEANNA DESTITO: How did you come up with this story?
Amanda Deibert: Halloween is a very inspiring holiday and one that our family loves, so it’s easy to let my imagination run wild. I thought it would be fun to have Cat play with different styles, so the idea of Buttercup trying to create a horror comic within a horror comic gave us a lot of room to play with!
DESTITO: What is your favorite part about being in the world of The Powerpuff Girls?
Deibert: They are such interesting characters! I love the Powerpuff Girls and the bad guys, so the whole thing was fun.
Cat Stag: This is a franchise I’ve loved for a long time. I love how clever it is and painting them is a career bucket list item for me!
DESTITO: Can fans join the comic?
Deibert: It’s totally a standalone! But please read them all because they are fun!
DESTITO: Will there be new villains added to PPG’s infamous Rogues’ Gallery?
Deibert: No, but there are tons of galleries here…some probably painted in ways you’ve never seen before.
DESTITO: Favorite moment from this story?
Deibert: I love the meta moments where we go from one story to another. The cat crushed it. The ending was definitely my favorite part.
In stages: I love all the Easter eggs we put in them, and the Mojo Jojo pages were so much fun to draw!
