I'm Famous!

by Alex Siquig, Michael Balistreri

I'M FAMOUS! mixes the super hero genre with celebrity culture and a healthy dose of surreal black humor. Our hero(?) is the Lone Wolf, spun from the pages of the acclaimed independent comic Black Snow. The Lone Wolf is the most popular and successful hero of his age, and has recently authored his autobiography, I'M FAMOUS!. One day a man appears to the Lone Wolf with a proposition; his studio in Hollywood wants the rights to I'M FAMOUS! to make it into a blockbuster film. Though the Lone Wolf happily agrees, there is a slight problem. The problem? The Lone Wolf is utterly and terribly insane! Featuring an ironic Anti-Nazi aspiring screen-writer, a bumbling naive sidekick, the ghost of Rasputin, an adoring female fan, and the pill popping Hollywood Man, I'M FAMOUS! is the story of a group of misfits from Detroit making their way to their destinies set to the backdrop of the glitz and glamor of Los Angeles.
