Dark Night : a True Batman Story / writer, Paul Dini ; artist and cover art, Eduardo Risso ; letterer, Todd Klein ; logo design, Chip Kidd. -- Burbank, CA : DC Comics, 2016. -- 128 p. : col. ill. ; 27 cm. -- (Vertigo) -- Summary (from OCLC): In the 1990s, legendary writer Paul Dini had a flourishing career writing the hugely popular Batman: The Animated Series and Tiny Toon Adventures. Walking home one evening, he was jumped and viciously beaten within an inch of his life. His recovery process was arduous, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television including the Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But despite how bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also always imagined the Batman at his side, chivvying him along during his darkest moments. This is a Batman story like no other: the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical tale of writer Paul Dini's courageous struggle to overcome a desperate situation. -- Autobiographical genre. -- Call no.: PN6790.A73 R5D3 2016 ----------------------------------------------------- Writers of Comics.

Mi Barrio : from SmarterComics / Robert Renteria ; as told to Corey Michael Blake ; illustrated by Shane Clester -- Mundelein, IL. : Writers of the Round Table Press, 2011. -- 55 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. -- "Based on the book From the Barrio to the Board Room." -- Summary (from SkyRiver): Don't let where you came from dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you become. These are the words of successful entrepreneur Robert Renteria who grew up as an infant sleeping in a dresser drawer. This hard-hitting comic memoir traces Robert's life from a childhood of poverty and abuse in one of the poorest areas of East Los Angeles, to his proud emergence as a business owner and civic leader today. Robert paints a vivid portrait of the numerous people who influenced his life and the forces that dragged him down--gangs, drugs, an alcohol and drug addicted father that abandoned the family, an abusive stepfather and climbing the broken ladder of corporate America. The book drives home the point that there's nothing that any American--Latino or otherwise--can't accomplish through persistence, hard work, heart and soul. -- Autobiographical genre. -- Call no.: PN6727.C564M5 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Writers on Comics.
