| Fortune and Glory |
| Back in 1998, comic book creator Brian Michael Bendis optioned one of his comic books, Goldfish, to be made into a movie. His experiences working his script through the Hollywood entertainment machine grabbed him as so strange that he decided to document the whole sordid affair. The result is a hysterical comic book that shows just how strange and otherworldly Hollywood is.
Bendis' comic has mainstream appeal - you don't have to be a comic book geek or entertainment insider to enjoy and laugh at the jokes. The writing is grounded and approachable, the art fun and perfectly suited for the material. There were plenty of sections I laughed out loud. I highly recommend this book. Pick it up and have a good laugh at Hollywood. |
