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...

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.

Repetitious swearing = boring.

Read some of the comics that feature in this book.

Interested in what goes into writing a film script.

Draws great pictures. Eg himself before and after the "one-second" mentioned above.

Comics are great! We get so much from well-drawn pictures, sometimes things that we can't get from the written word.

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.
