Paula Peril (Comic Book)

Paula Peril is an American action-adventure comic book series published by Atlantis Studios. Based on (and released in conjunction with) a live-action independent film series starring Valerie Perez in the title role, Paula Peril centers on the adventures of Paula "Peril" Perillo, a newspaper reporter with a knack for getting to the bottom of big stories, for getting captured by the bad guys, and for ultimately foiling their plans and getting the story scoop. Issues began in 2006; the most recent, "Mystery of the Haunted Hotel," was released in 2019. The series (and its title) was inspired by the 1914 silent movie serial The Perils of Pauline.
