The Nancy Drew franchise has been adapted into other forms of media with varied success. Illustrations of the character evolved over time to reflect contemporary styles. In 2012, the Girl Detective series ended, and a new series, Nancy Drew Diaries, was launched in 2013. Launched in 2004, the Nancy Drew: Girl Detective series features Nancy driving a hybrid electric vehicle and using a cell phone. In the 1980s, an older and more professional Nancy emerged in a new series, The Nancy Drew Files, that included romantic subplots for the sleuth. In the revision process, the heroine's original character was changed to be less unruly and violent. Beginning in 1959, the books were extensively revised and shortened, partly to lower the printing costs, with arguable success. Over the decades the character has evolved in response to changes in American culture and tastes. Created by the publisher Edward Stratemeyer as the female counterpart to his Hardy Boys series, the character first appeared in 1930 in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series, which lasted until 2003 and consisted of 175 novels. The books are ghostwritten by a number of authors and published under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene. I hope there are more Nancy comics in the future but not ones that are written this poorly.Nancy Drew is a fictional character appearing in several mystery book series, movies, video games, and a TV show as a teenage amateur sleuth. I was so excited about this all female creative team doing Nancy Drew but.this is the worst thing I’ve ever read by Thompson. Just like Pete is a prop for Nancy right now. Just like Nancy’s team in river heights from issue one were just props for her. Because her black girlfriend is just a prop for her in this story. Which is why my queer little heart can’t even be excited about gay ass George. The characterization is *still* terrible (Nancy is such an asshole in this series?), the writing is *still* some type of obnoxious “I am a grown adult who is trying way too hard to make my lingo sound relevant to younger crowds”, and I think most annoyingly coming from Thompson is that her version of “diverse” is keeping the main cast all-white and only using black characters with shallow depth as background props for the white characters.


I can’t cancel a pull list subscription halfway in. From here on out this is officially a hate read.
