Fortune and Glory: A True Hollywood Comic Book Story

Book Description
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY gave him an A, Hollywood insiders fell all over themselves to praise him, and fans everywhere gave him a full thumbs-up for hilarity. Now, on the heels of his praise and punishment, Brian Michael Bendis puts his sold-out miniseries, FORTUNE & GLORY, into one hefty volume. Marvel once again at the stupidity of Hollywood producers, the vanity of stars like Uma Thurman and Clint Eastwood, and the enthralling mood swings and ego nosedives of a little indie comic-book creator caught up in the maelstrom of the motion picture industry. Presented in a handy 6" X 9" format, this collection features brand-new pages left on the cutting room floor and not included in the original comics. The individual issues are becoming increasingly hard to find, and that's because everyone who read it didn't like it, they loved it. Featuring an introduction by Paul Dini, who himself knows a thing or two about the Hollywood machine.

Brian Michael Bendis is the Eisner award-winning creator of the stunning crime comics Jinx, Torso, and AKA Goldfish. With Fortune & Glory, he shifts his gears from crimes against the laws of man to crimes against intelligence, exposing the truly ridiculous underbelly of the Hollywood system. Witness the journey of a self-effacing comic book creator from the depths of obscurity through the mills of the star-studded motion picture behemoth to someplace squarely in-between. Fortune & Glory: A True Hollywood Comic Book Story is a hilarious yet shockingly honest portrayal of Bendis` fascinating personal Hollywood experiences, filled with a fantastically eccentric cast of characters and anecdotes so outrageous they have to be true. Plus real life cameo appearances by Clint Eastwood, Uma Thurman, Drew Carey and many others. This edition will also feature brand-new material not seen in the original comic books! Contains mature situations and adult language.

Brian Bendis is currently writing the comic books Powers And Sam & Twitch for Image, and will be doing a high-profile stint on Daredevil as part of Marvel`s hot Marvel Knights line.
