The show leans into its sci-fi premise with lots of visual effects, but the comic book presents a much more bold sci-fi scope from the beginning. Pterodactyls flood the sky in the early pages of the comic, but only appear briefly in the first season's final episodes. This difference likely comes down to budgetary concerns, which the comic simply do...
Many sci-fi and fantasy series make use of fictional languages, but Paper Girls eschews the one from the comics. The Old Timers speak a strange language in the original comic series, among the best Brian K. Vaughn comic books ever. Their language blends both modern slang and an antiquated construction. The Old Watch in the series avoids this, with ...
Paper Girls, easily among the best independent comic book series ever, lays out its elaborate mythology in the first few issues. The live-action series adapts it mostly intact, though with key changes to names. The Old Timers, the faction that seeks to control the original timeline in the comic, is known as The Old Watch in the show. The STF, the r...
In the show, Erin, Mac, and Tiff come to KJ's aid when she gets accosted by teenage boys on Hell Day. This varies from the comics, where it's Erin who runs into the boys. The circumstances largely play out the same, down to the lead teenager wearing a Freddy Kreuger costume from A Nightmare On Elm Street, among the best 1980s horror movies. Mac lea...
The comic book begins with a haunting dream sequence where Erin meets Christa McAullife, the schoolteacher who died aboard the space shuttle Challengerin 1986. The show makes no reference to the tragedy, but the comic uses it both to locate Erin in time and also show how traumatic the incident was. Many schoolchildren watched the Challenger's ill-f...
Ali Wong easily ranks Paper Girls among her best TV shows and movieswith her nuanced performance as Adult Erin. The older Erin differs in many ways from the comics though, beginning with how she meets the teenage paper girls. She meets them on the street after nearly running into them with her car rather than finding them in her house as she does i...
Adult Tiffany also varies quite a bit between the comics and the show. In the show, Tiff discovers her adult self got expelled from MIT and leads a directionless life in Stony Stream very different from the highly motivated younger version imagined. In the comics, Adult Tiffany attended business school and married her boyfriend. Another major diffe...
Mac's home life in the show differs greatly from the comics. While her general circumstances remain the same, a key difference emerges in her relationship with her mother. In the comics, Mac loves her mother and fights over a gun to save her life. In the show, Mac has a contentious relationship with her stepmother, who she thinks hates her. The sho...
Larry (Nate Corddry) plays a key role in the streaming series, an intermediary between the STF movement in the past and the future. He gets caught up in the adventure when the paper girls inadvertently stumble into the mission his contacts were on, but Larry doesn't exist in the comics whatsoever. That same goes for Juniper, his love interest and f...
The show ends with a powerful cliffhanger. The girls get split up, with Tiff and Erin landing in the 1950s very removed from any modern technological help, and Mac and KJ transported somewhere yet unrevealed. This differs greatly from the comics. While the girls get split up a lot, the 1950s don't play a role at all. Neither does The Prioress's bet...
