Paperdoll Review Magazine issue 88 - Halloween, Dutch, more!

PRE-ORDERS WELCOME! Issue #88 ships mid-September.

No need to be scared! This issue is filled with many charming, costume-clad paper dolls like sweet "Dolly Dingle and her China Dolly" on our Play Page. Martha Raively tells us about the origins, traditions and costumes of Halloween. Rod Labbe invites us to spend time with his favorite, friendly ghouls next door—The Munsters and The Addams Family. Lorna tells us about Guy Fawkes Night and Greg Urbach takes a look at Zorro collectibles.

We have an embarrassment of riches in this issue with articles on a variety of topics by so many of our paper doll friends! Lorna Thomopoulos talks about traditional Dutch Costumes, Louise Leek continues her series on ’30s greeting card paper dolls, Sharry O’Hare reports on the 2023 Philadelphia Paper Doll Party, and Marguerite Carrithers asks—and answers—a very important question... Why Paper Dolls? And of course we have lots of super cool—and some a little spooky—paper dolls on display.

Our cover art is from the 1920 Dennison's Bogie Book, and Charlotte Whatley provided our back cover paper doll, "Ells the Pretty Little Witch and Her Charming Pet Jasper." Other full page paper dolls include Julie Allen Matthews' "Anjelica Huston as Morticia," from the 1991 film “The Addams Family” and "Katrinka from Holland," by Barbara Hale for "McCall's Magazine, November 1919. Plus New Books, Let's Play Paper Dolls and more!
