Picture Diary. Mike Carey & Peter Gross on 'The Unwritten' The Unwritten #1 The story behind The Unwritten is another story. That is, it's about Tom Taylor, a young man whose claim to fame is being the child star of his father's series of fantasy novels starting a young boy wizard "Tommy Taylor". Think Harry Potter if Harry Potter was real. But he's not the boy in the stories all grown up – he's merely inspiration for the name, but in the fervor over the Tommy Taylor books that makes him a star.
All grown up now, he resembles a sort of child actor all grown up and living off his former fame. But he's content with that – making the most of the celebrity status his father inadvertently gave him. But what if the stories are true? The new Vertigo series is a mixture of new and old, both with the story and the storytellers. With The Unwritten's first issue scheduled to debut on May 13th with a special cover price of $1, Newsarama spoke with both creators to write about The Unwritten.

What guy doesn’t want to see a women kicking ass? I mean that was the central premise of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Alias on television. And I enjoyed those shows. But imagine if some of your favorite heroes were women? Not just Wonder Woman, but let’s say The Flash or Daredevil. Covered.
