"We live in a world where meta-comics putting theircreators at the forefront of stories is about as unique as grass being green,but when the book is done with this much charm and self-deprecation, itcertainly makes the tale worth telling." -PasteMagazine

When acclaimed comics authorJAMES ROBINSON (Starman, Fantastic Four) is hired to write a reboot of the 1940saction hero Airboy, he's reluctant to do yet another Golden Age reboot. Justwhat the hell has happened to his career-?! His marriage?! His life?! Hey, it'snothing that a drink can't fix. It's after one such night of debauchery withartist GREG HINKLE that the project really comes into its own. Quite literally.Because Airboy himself appears to set the two depraved comic book creators onthe straight and narrow. But no one in this story has their life go according toplan. Read the entire series in one hardcover collected volume, which features abrand new story dealing with the reaction to the comic's initial publicationthat doesn't turn out the way anyone expects...least of all Robinson andHinkle.

A satirical look into the comicbook industry paired with the debauchery of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear andLoathing in Las Vegas.

Recenzii

LIBRARY JOURNAL --The heroic Airboy, who fights Nazis in aplane with flapping wings, was originally created for 1940s fanboys. This Airboyis not. The plot begins as Robinson (Starman), at a somewhatautobiographical nadir in his life, bemoans his new assignment to relaunch anoriginal Airboy comic book. When inspiration proves elusive, he recruitsreluctant artist Hinkle (The Rattler) for help and the two headinto a Hunter S. Thompsonesque bender of booze, drugs, and sex. Unexpectedly,the stimulant combo sends them right through the boundary between reality andfiction, and both creators and Airboy gain useful enlightenment about living.Somehow transcending clich owing to clever writing, extreme humor,bizarre vignettes, and adult situations, the story realizes additional oomphthrough Hinkle's angular, unpretty art. His effective coloring paints“reality” in monochromes, while Airboy's world appears fully vivid.The wild satire spares no one, from women to men to transgender individuals,especially the debaucherous creators who let it all hang out-literally.VERDICTThis pungent treat for gonzo-minded adults who enjoy outrageous comic depravityslyly delivers messages about what matters and why it's important to perseveredespitesetbacks.-MC
