By Michael Singer.

Jerry Bruckheimer is the most successful producer in the history of both mediums. One need merely look at Bruckheimer's resume to verify this statement. Bruckheimer's films and television shows have not only influenced popular culture, but, in some cases, defined it.

Jerry Bruckheimer: When Lightning Strikes - Four Decades of Filmmaking commemorates the uber-producer's entire career thus far, from his early years in advertising, all the way through to his most recent blockbuster. The stories behind all of his films and television shows are revealed through informative text written by Michael Singer, who has worked beside the producer in deserts, on tropical islands, and at every conceivable filming location in between.

Shes a half-Russian beauty with silver hair, at the top of her class, student council accountant, and…completely unapproachable. For some reason, shes also taken on the responsibility of reprimanding the slacker who sits next to her in class.

She may put on a tough act, but she doesnt mind Masachika as much as others would think. She even lets him call her by her nickname, Alya. Anyone hearing the comments she mutters in Russian under her breath might know how she really feels, but since none of her classmates understand the language, shes free to say whatever she likes! Except…there is one person who knows what shes saying. Masachika eavesdrops on her embarrassing revelations, pretending to be clueless, all the while wondering what her flirtatious comments actually mean!

1st Printing. Story, art, and cover by Graham Chaffee. Graham Chaffee's first graphic novel in seven years,Light It, Shoot It! is a classic tale of noir below the spotlight. Fresh out of prison for an arson conviction, clueless 20-yearold Billy Bonney finds himself drifting through the seedy and unsavory world of cut-rate moviemaking, even more out of place amongst his peers than he felt as a teen six years earlier whenhe got busted. Following his brother to the sets of grade B and exploitation 1970s Hollywood seems like a path of least resistance, until he accidentally lands a job as a handler to a has-been actor. But the bright lights burn harsher and show more than he anticipated as he steps lucklessly into a gangster-driven plot toburn down a studio for the insurance money and finds himself in over his head. Drunken, washed-up stars. Scrambling, past their-own-prime producers. Teenage girls on the make, slick hustlers, and violent fixers. Drawn in bold brushstrokes, and hand-painted in subtle washes, Chaffee brings vintage LA to the page in a propulsive adventure! Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 208 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $24.99.
