"The unwritten created by Gross and Carey."
"Originally published in single magazine form as The unwritten 1-5"--T.p. verso.
"Tom Taylor's life was screwed from the word go. His father created the mega-popular Tommy Taylor boy-wizard fantasy novels. But dad modeled the fictional epic so closely to Tom that fans constantly compare him to his counterpart, turning him into a lame, Z-level celebrity. When a scandal hints that Tom might really be the boy-wizard made flesh, Tom comes into contact with a mysterious, deadly group that's secretly kept tabs on him all his life. Now, to protect his life and discover the truth behind his origins, Tom will travel the world, to all the places in world history where fictions have shaped reality" -- from publisher's web site.

Recommended for adult fans of Harry Potter submitted by klickitat on August 31, 2012, 9:48pm Highly recommended for adult fans of Harry Potter, as well as those looking for alternative, non-superhero comics. (Unwritten was originally published as a comic by DC and every five issues are collected in a graphic novel format.) Apart from the Rowling pastiche, it's an interesting reflection on the purpose and power of fiction, the line between fiction and reality, and just a fun read. Gorgeous art design.
