Call #: LP FICTION HAN Subjects Superhero films -- Fiction.   Comic books, strips, etc. -- Fiction.   Motion pictures -- Production and direction -- United States -- Fiction.   Actors and actresses -- Fiction   United States -- Civilization -- 1945- -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780593664001 (large print pbk.) Description:  655 p. (large print) : ill. ; 23 cm. Summary:  From the Academy Award-winning actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II. Part one of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression and then disappears for twenty-three years. Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero. Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie. Cue the cast: We meet the film’s extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the gofer production assistant and everyone else on both sides of the camera. Funny, touching and wonderfully thought-provoking, this is a novel not only about the making of a movie, but also about the changes in America and American culture since World War II. Bonus material: interspersed throughout are the three comic books that are featured in the story -- all created by Hanks himself -- including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel’s "major motion picture masterpiece.""--Publisher.
