Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling, Peabody and multi-Eisner award-winning co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, Jessica Jones, and POWERS tells a comedic life lesson about the horrors of Hollywood. Before his acclaimed relaunches of Superman, Action Comics, and Young Justice...before his triumphant successes with Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man, Invincible Iron Man, and Jessica Jones...before his groundbreaking original series Powers, Scarlet, Cover, and Pearl... ...Brian Michael Bendis was a hungry young cartoonist about to take his first step into the shark-filled swimming pool that is the American motion picture industry. The harsh lessons that he learned along the way—and the unforgettable people that he met—are set down for the ages in Fortune and Glory, his hilarious autobiographical account of Hollywood development hell.
