Product Description
Tales of the Starlight Drive-In is journalist-comic writer Michael San Giacomo’s tribute to that great American institution - the drive-in theater with 26 stand-alone stories set in a drive-in theater from 1955 through 2005. While each can be read separately, together they form one complete tale of the rise and fall (and rise?) of a drive-in through stories that cross all genres including humor, romance, crime, horror, adventure, western and even super-heroes. Each story has a relationship with the movie playing at the time. Most are in color, except for those before 1962 and a few special stories that just needed to be black and white. Characters come and go, but Neil the projectionist is the rock who is there all the way through from the beginning to the end.

Mike also wrote (PHANTON JACK )

Newspaper reporter Jack Baxter can turn invisible. Not exactly a hero, Baxter uses his powers to scoop other reporters. His test of fire comes when his brother is captured in Iraq. Jack rescues his brother with the aid of the beautiful Madison Blue, an invisible secret agent for the group ‘Miscellaneous’. Stories lean toward realistic portrayals of characters in modern world, not typical super-hero fare. The series ran in 2005 from Image and returned in November, 2007, from Atomic Pop Art Entertainment with ABSOLUTE PHANTOM JACK, which collects all the previous Image comics and about 80 pages of new stories. The all-new, 110-page graphic novel PHANTOM JACK: THE NOWHERE MAN AGENDA, where Jack confronts his evil opposite and faces his final fate, will be published as soon as a new publisher is found.
