Review of Comic Book: The Movie (2004) by Jeremy S — 12 Apr 2010

This is a really good mockumentary about the comic book culture. The geeks, nerds, writers, & artists.

Mark Hamill plays Don Swan, a high school teacher. Who in his love for a golden age hero, sets forth to make a documentary to try to stop an updated version of said hero. The hero in question is Commander Courage. There is to be an updated version called Codename Courage.

Mark Hamill also directed this opus about comic books. There are tons of cameos. Hugh Hefner, Stan Lee, J.J. Abrams, Peter David, Peter Mayhew, David Prowse, Kevin Smith, Bruce Campbell, & Ron Perlman.

Funny, quirky movie.
