From the best-selling author and legendary actor: an original about the creation of an elegant, multimillion-dollar superhuman activity film...and the unassuming comic books that propelled it. Funny, touching, and brilliantly thought-provoking, it also shows how America and American culture have changed since World War II.

"Wild, aggressive and extraordinarily charming. "The Humans and Reasons to Stay Alive Part One, written by best-selling author Matt Haig, takes place in 1947. After returning from the war, a troubled soldier meets his gifted five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then vanishes for 23 years.

Cut to 1970: The nephew, who works as an underground comic book artist in Oakland, California, reunites with his uncle and draws a new version of the comic book he saw when he was five, portraying his uncle as a World War II fighting hero.

Now, fast forward to today: The 1970 comic book is discovered by a successful director who decides to adapt it into a modern superhero movie.

Sign the cast: We meet the film's extremely difficult male lead, his lovely leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, producer, gofer production assistant, and everyone else working behind the scenes.

Add-on materials: There are three comic books that are featured in the story, all of which were created by Tom Hanks himself. One of these comic books becomes the official tie-in to the "major motion picture masterpiece" of this novel.
