A 21st Century Superhero

21.4.11

A Biography of the Future...

In the style of previous faux-document novels like Max Brooks' "Word War Z" and films like J.J. Abrams' "Cloverfield" and in the spirit of realistic superhero comic-books like Alan Moore's "Watchmen" and Brian K. Vaughan's "Ex Machina", George Jack set out to craft a superhero story of our times. A plausible biography of the near-future.

There are a great deal of superhero characters on the market right now. In the visual storytelling medium they were born, comics, as well as film, television, and even prose. But few exist so intentionally in the space between fiction and reality as the story of the super-powered Stanley Ross.

The Chip’s story, although spectacular, begins in the same unspectacular way all of our stories do, with a man and a woman—his parents...

Those are the opening words of "The Chip", beginning at the beginning and establishing a reportage element to the work. Like Stan Lee's superhero characters of the 1960s, Stanley Ross is a superhero of your world right now: America in the early years of the Twenty-First Century!
