Adventures in Book Covers: How To...Make Money Like a Porn Star

How To Make Money Like a Porn Star

How To Make Money Like a Porn Star



from Amazon:

Sin City meets How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, in this graphic novel by the bestselling co-author of Jenna Jameson's autobiography.

Claudia Corvette. From her tousled bedroom hair to her name-all the porn stars in this world take their names from supermodels and sports cars-she is adult entertainment's prototypical femme fatale. Her life is the collision of countless troubled-childhood clichÉs and grown-up wet dreams, projected onto her as surely as her videos project their blue light onto lonely men around the world.
From its first panel, How to Make Money Like a Porn Star draws the reader into the dark world of girls like Claudia, the men who fantasize about them, and the monsters who control them. In the hands of Rolling Stone writer Neil Strauss and illustrator Bernard Chang, this adult graphic novel weaves together black humor and blacker reality. Like all great American stories, it features humble beginnings, life-changing tragedy, stripping, abuse, implants, fame, addiction, bigger implants, abduction, gunplay, downfall, and even bigger implants. Not to mention a thousand shades of latex and L'Oreal.
Part parody, part morality tale, here is the truth about the porn life, its outsized visual splendor captured in a comic parade of doe-eyed centerfolds, its essence distilled in a story that will haunt every reader who has ever wondered where his next fantasy is coming from.


From Publishers Weekly:

Regan Books is jumping into the graphic novel field with How to Make Money Like a Porn Star, a satirical graphic novel written by Neil Strauss and drawn by Bernard Chang. The story follows a young woman named Claudia Corvette as she discovers the ins and outs of the porn business. The book includes fake ads and puzzle pages, along with more traditional comics, to satirize both the porn industry and its addicted consumers.

Artist Chang contributed illustrations and comics to Straus's last two bestsellers,
How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, the book he co-wrote with Jenna Jameson, and The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, a guide to picking up women.
