Summary of this Book...
Brian, who has written a few comics, gets a write up in Spin Magazine. He then gets phone calls from movie-maker reps who have never read his comics but want the rights. He aquires the mentorship of a fledgling producer who can advise him. He goes to Hollywood...
I especially liked...
When he and his mates walk into an LA restaurant, wanting to get more than the one-second of attention which is all a nobody gets.
I didn't like...
Repetitious swearing = boring.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read some of the comics that feature in this book.
This Book made me feel...
Interested in what goes into writing a film script.
The author of this Book...
Draws great pictures. Eg himself before and after the "one-second" mentioned above.
I recommend this Book because...
Comics are great! We get so much from well-drawn pictures, sometimes things that we can't get from the written word.
Further Comments...
Bendis uses a variety of visual effects, sometimes using the same image at greater and greater magnification in each successive frame, often stringing parts of a conversation across a page or two, sometimes using a photo as background.
