A Hollywood starlet gets even more famous once she turns invisible, in "The Bod."

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Too busy publishing other graphic novelists to choose which of his own ideas to develop, AiT/Planet Lar's Young pitches a half-dozen uncompleted stories and asks readers to pick for him. Literally pitches, for the conceit binding the six together has Young on the horn describing them to his "superstar entertainment lawyer." "Hemogoblin," about the last vampire, and "Zombie Dinosaur" are as tantalizing as their titles. If the sf scenarios "The Camera" (kids find a time-travel wormhole) and "For the Time Being" (Star Trek with a mad, naked captain) are less enticing, well, they're also not as funny. The lusciously weird "Emancipating Lincoln," in which everyone looks like Abe, deserves the most positive feedback, but "The Bod," already three times longer than the others, about a curvaceous Hollywood newcomer who leaps to stardom after an accident makes her invisible, is probably the easiest to complete. Young should retain the artists who work with him here. Paul Tucker's Ben Shahn-like style in "The Camera" and John Heebink's Playboyish way with "The Bod" are particularly irreplaceable. Ray Olson
