IT'S A BIRD. . . written by Steven T. Seagle (Vertical; Sandman: Mystery Theater) with painted art by European artist Teddy Kristiansen (House of Secrets) is a personal story details one writer's attempt to find his missing father, come to terms with his family's legacy of Huntington's disease, reconcile with his girlfriend, and stave off writer's block. If that sounds like a job for Superman, well, that's the problem. The semi-autobiographical Steve Seagle of IT'S A BIRD. . . should be celebrating. He's been offered a plum assignment: the opportunity to write the ongoing Superman comic book. But when his father disappears, Steve is confronted by his family's history of Huntington's and the possibility that he and his father might have the disease. He is desperate to track down his father and needs to explain to his girlfriend why he might be reluctant to have children. The last thing that he has time for is to put together a proposal for Superman, but his editor keeps calling and needs an answer: can he, will he, write Superman? 734432 2004 It's a Bird total:162|5:1|4:3|3:4|2:1|1:0| 162 640 210 29 373150 1401203116 9781401203115 135 24 3.95 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255894m/373150.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/373150.It_s_a_Bird 4 1 false Mon Jul 30 02:57:34 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 30 02:58:14 -0700 2007 more...]]> 373150 1401203116 9781401203115 135 24 3.95 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255894m/373150.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/373150.It_s_a_Bird 2 0 false Mon Nov 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 18:58:51 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 19:19:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 373150 1401203116 9781401203115 135 24 3.95 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255894m/373150.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/373150.It_s_a_Bird 3 1 false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 15:32:37 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 15:50:38 -0700 2009
