Fortune and Glory
(Oni, 1999-2000)
™ and © Oni Press
Ever wonder how comics make it from the printed page to the big screen? Eisner Award winner Brian Michael Bendis (Goldfish, Jinx, Sam and Twitch, Powers) learns the hard way in what is deemed “A True Hollywood Comic Book Story.”
When an article in Spin Magazine launches Bendis from the world of black-and-white alternative comics into Hollywood, he discovers that acquiring hot property is more important than actually knowing who or what that property is. From Cleveland to Hollywood, witness Bendis’ adventures as he tries to get his comic books made into movies. His honest humor and crisp art create a hilarious tale of high hopes and heartbreak.
Generate buzz. Discover what feature film packaging is. Learn why a writer needs heat. Take meetings. Meet-and-greet shallow, self-absorbed execs, producers, and agents. Enter the realms of development hell. As Bendis writes, “Showbiz, baby, ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors.”
