Brian Michael Bendis has had a remarkably rich career in comics, and that’s putting it mildly. Known for crafting some timeless tales throughout his journey, many of his best stories have been untold – until now. In his latest autobiographical graphic novel, Fortune and Glory: The Musical from Dark Horse Comics, Bendis delves deeper into these unspoken narratives, such as the development of the musical that transformed into Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, and his climb up the comics ladder. Additionally, he sheds light on what it’s like to collaborate with some of the most revered superhero characters ever conceived. To top it off, we have an exclusive sneak peek at the graphic novel right here, which you can explore in the images below.
Initially striving as an artist, Bendis eventually emerged as one of comics’ top writers. A significant figure in his journey was none other than the revered artist Walt Simonson. As the sneak peek shows, their fortuitous encounter led Simonson to inspire and guide Bendis throughout his career, a mentorship that Bendis has always held dear.
Among numerous tales found within the second installment of this autobiographical sequence, Bendis collaborates with Bill Walko (cartoonist), Wes Dzioba (colorist), and Josh Reed (letterer) to breathe life into these narratives. For an official summary of Fortune and Glory: The Musical, you can find it below.
Amidst the extraordinary achievements of Brian Michael Bendis’s iconic tenure writing Ultimate Spider-Man and the blockbuster Spider-Man movies, an unexpected call came his way. The news was that Spidey was heading to Broadway, with Bendis teaming up with musical legends to help the hero discover his stage presence. Faced with his lack of knowledge about musicals, would he bow out before rehearsals started?
The team consisting of comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis, cartoonist Bill Walko, colorist Wes Dzioba, and letterer Josh Reed unite to delve into the extraordinary happenings occurring behind the scenes during the preparation phase of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
This is the second volume of the acclaimed and prize-winning graphic novel series based on his life experiences, which vividly illustrates the truth behind the saying “there’s no business like show business” (phew, I’m relieved!).
Fortune and Glory: The Musical is in bookstores and on digital platforms now.
As a passionate movie enthusiast and avid comic book fan, I must say that the latest preview left me utterly thrilled! The blend of action, drama, and suspense was simply captivating. What stood out for me were not just the spectacular special effects, but the depth of character development and the storyline that seamlessly brought my favorite comic characters to life on the big screen.
I’ve had many unforgettable moments in the world of comics, but a few that truly stand out include:
1. The first time I held an original copy of “Watchmen” – the sheer complexity and maturity of its storytelling left me awestruck.
2. The emotional rollercoaster ride that was “The Killing Joke,” where the line between good and evil was blurred in a way that made me question everything I thought I knew about my beloved Batman.
3. Marvel’s “Civil War” arc, which delved deep into the moral complexities of superheroes and their responsibility to society – a theme that continues to resonate with me today.
