Brad '61 : Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Meet Brad, a young man with problems. He wants to be an artist, but he can only get work illustrating the "Yellow Pages"; he wants to fall in love, but he has terrible luck with women; he wants to make a name in New York, but he lives in New Jersey.

How will our hero get out of this fix? American comics have become a cult of our age. Back in the 1960s, Roy Lichtenstein took comics and made them into art.

Now Tony Hendra, editor of "Spy" magazine and former editor of "National Lampoon", turns Lichtenstein's idea around, combining his famous paintings into an original comic strip which puts a brand-new spin on an age-old tale.
