MC Super-Size Me

According to The Hollywood Reporter we can look forward to yet another new project from Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame. Last time we saw Spurlock eating his way through the McDonald's menu for 30 days straight, and now he's back with a graphic novel on the same topic of fast food in America.

The book will be titled Supersized: Strange Tales From a Fast Food Culture. It will feature odd stories of people's experiences with fast food told to Spurlock in response to releasing the film. According to The Hollywood Reporter one such story that may stick with you for a while is about "a fat man whose cremation made a mortuary smell like French fries." Yum.

The graphic novel will be written by Spurlock with scripting and drawing done by a mix of new artists. The clown character Mc Super-Size Me, which was created to promote the movie, will "act as the guide through the stories, in the same way the Crypt Keeper hosted the ghoulish stories in EC Comics' Tales From the Crypt," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Look for the book next spring.

Need your fix of a stomach-turning look into the underbelly of our food system right now? Check out Food, Inc. This Heart of Green nominated film gets great reviews by TDG staff and others, and although Spurlock hasn't seen it yet himself, when asked about the film recently by TDG he said he's "heard good things."
