Preview - The Unwritten Vol. 1: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity

The Unwritten Vol. 1: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity is one of those books from Vertigo comics that is pretty intense as opposed to simply being superheroic. Written by Mike Carey and with art by Peter Gross (cover by Yuko Shimizu), the book highlights the screwing of Tom Taylor. His father created the Tommy Taylor boy-wizard fantasy novels, basing Tommy Taylor on - you guessed it - Tom, which means that he's constantly harassed and accosted for the comparison. This is all fun and games until it's discovered that the fiction may be a truth, as Tom comes into contact with a group that's secretly kept tabs on him his whole life. The book is available now (all 144 pages of it) for $9.99, and you can check out the entire first chapter here. Peep some interiors after the jump to whet your whistle.
