GHOST SCRIPT HC GN (C: 1-1-0)
(W/A/CA) Jules Feiffer
Eighty-nine-year-old Jules Feiffer delivers the tour de force of his illustrious career in this epic finale that dares “to try things that film noir could only dream of” (Chris Ware). In The Ghost Script, Feiffer plunges us into the blowzy, boozy world of Blacklist Hollywood, circa 1953: witch hunts and Reds and pinkos and starlets and a mysterious, orchid-growing mastermind, the renamed “Cousin Joseph,” running a back-channel clearinghouse for victims of the entertainment world’s purge. Stumbling his way through this maze is private eye Archie Goldman, a tough-talking good guy, always a step or two behind in this fast-moving story of plots, counterplots, and goon violence. Meet Lola Burns, the buxom Blacklistee, desperate to get back into pictures, and O. Z. McCay and Fay Bloom, the booze-swilling, hard-living communist screenwriters. In this satiric assault on our past and present, Feiffer shows how the arc of American history evolves from starry dreams to thwarted and sold- out dreams.

KILL MY MOTHER GN (C: 1-0-0)
(W/A/CA) Jules Feiffer
Jules Feiffer's Kill My Mother is a loving homage to the pulp-inspired films and comic strips of his youth. Channeling Eisner's The Spirit, along with the likes of Hammett, Chandler, Cain, John Huston, and Billy Wilder, and spiced with the deft humor for which Feiffer is renowned, Kill My Mother centers on five formidable women from two unrelated families, linked fatefully and fatally by a has-been, hard-drinking private detective.

(W/A/CA) Jules Feiffer

Every month, he also makes secret overnight trips on behalf of "Cousin Joseph" — a mysterious man on the phone he has never laid eyes on — to pay off Hollywood producers to ensure that they will film only upbeat films that idealize a mythic America. But Sam, himself, is not in for a happy ending, as the secret of his unseen mentor's duplicity is slowly revealed to him.
