I thought I was finished with super heroes until last summer, when I read Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Then I fell in love with the genre all over again. In the autumn I started scarfing down the transgressive literature of Chuck Palahniuk, whose works, Invisible Monsters especially, were revelatory.

Soon a brainwave struck me: produce a graphic novel, Michalik! Or, even better, a flick (a steamy noir) in stills. Instead of pen and ink, I’d use photographs. Palahniuk’s books would be my jumping off point, but the text itself would avoid the clichés associated with his work. The images would be cryptic tableaus, R-rated Stations of the Cross for readers to marvel at.

Since then I’ve been story boarding a (photo) graphic novel and installation. The working title is 1,000 KUTZ. The budget is shoestring. And I need actors/models and photographers to get the job done. But get it done I shall.
