Tom Hanks wrote a novel about making a comic book movie - The A.V. Club

The Making Of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece is sort of a multi-generational epic about American life during and after World War II (would you believe this is a Tom Hanks book?), with one section focusing on a soldier returning home from the war in 1947, another section focusing on his nephew who was inspired to write the soldier into a comic book in the ‘70s, then a third section about a director in the present day who finds the comic book and decides to make it into a movie.

The novel will also include various comic books written by Hanks and drawn by Robert Sikoryak (a prolific artist who has some experience paying homage to different comic book eras in books like The Unquotable Trump and iTunes Terms And Conditions: The Graphic Novel).

The Making Of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece is Hanks’ second book and first novel.
