"We live in a world where meta-comics putting their
creators 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, it
certainly makes the tale worth telling." -Paste

When acclaimed comics author
JAMES ROBINSON (Starman, Fantastic Four) is hired to write a reboot of the 1940s
action hero Airboy, he's reluctant to do yet another Golden Age reboot. Just
what the hell has happened to his career-?! His marriage?! His life?! Hey, it's
nothing that a drink can't fix. It's after one such night of debauchery with
artist GREG HINKLE that the project really comes into its own. Quite literally.
Because Airboy himself appears to set the two depraved comic book creators on
the straight and narrow. But no one in this story has their life go according to
plan. Read the entire series in one hardcover collected volume, which features a
brand new story dealing with the reaction to the comic's initial publication
that doesn't turn out the way anyone expects...least of all Robinson and
Hinkle.
A satirical look into the comic
book industry paired with the debauchery of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas.
