I started out

writing humor with my friend Will Jacobs—The Beaver Papers, a lot of stuff for National Lampoon—then became a comic book writer for a while—Green Lantern, Justice League, some Batman projects, The Trouble with Girls, and a lot else—and got hired to write a few screenplays by Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, HBO and other people that never got made.

Along the way I started writing nonfiction books about mass culture with Honey I'm Home and The Comic Book Heroes, attracted some attention with a book called Killing Monsters, wrote a lot of op-eds and articles, started speaking and debating at assorted conferences and universities, and then wrote my favorite book, Men of Tomorrow. (My favorite book of my own, that is. Overall, I like Light in August better. And Jeeves in the Springtime. And a few others.)

I've been busy since then, with the Men of Tomorrow screenplay, a web comic and graphic novel for Privacy Activism called Networked, a humorous novel with Will Jacobs called Million Dollar Ideas that we're going to put on the market soon enough, and teaching a workshop at the San Francisco Writers Grotto on "Finding Your Story" that's turned out to be quite popular. But now I'm mainly focused on finishing this book for FSG called The Undressing of America. This blog will be mostly about that, until it's about something else.
