Morgan Spurlock Gets Animated With Graphic Novel

By IDA Editorial Staff


Morgan Spurlock is getting even more animated.

A week after revealing that he was on board to produce and direct The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special in 3-D on Ice documentary, the filmmaker announced that his production team Warrior Poets are partnering with Dark Horse for an original graphic novel that will serve as companion to his 2004 doc Super-Size Me where the filmmaker ate nothing but McDonald's food for one month.

The book, called Supersized: Strange Tales From a Fast Food Culture, will feature, well, strange stories about the U.S.'s obsession with fast food that didn't make it into the film. (In 2005 Spurlock penned the more bookish book Don't Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America.)

He plans to still make the point that health and nutrition are the way to go. The project will include a mix of established and up-and-coming artists and writers, and the clown character MC Super-Size Me from the film will serve as a storytelling guide throughout the book.
