HTML:<b>From the legendary 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.<br /> "Wild, ambitious and exceptionally enjoyable." —Matt Haig, best-selling author <i>The Midnight Library, The Humans</i> and <i>Reasons to Stay Alive</i><br /></b>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.<br /> <i>Cut to 1970:</i> 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. <br /> <i>Cut to the present day:</i> A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie.<br /> <i>Cue the cast:</i> 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.<br /> <i>Bonus material:</i> Interspersed throughout are three comic books that are featured in the story—all created by Tom Hanks himself—including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel’s "major motion picture masterpiece."<br /> <b>*Includes a downloadable PDF of the comics from the book and a QR code for access to the original screenplay of <i>Knightshade: The Lathe of Firefall</i></b>.
