Do the homeless have guardian angels, and if they do, why aren't those angels doing a better job? Why do space aliens probe us in certain unmentionable places? Are certain movie stars licensed to kill? Does the Almighty ignore our prayers? If you've found yourself pondering these questions, you're in luck. The answers to these and many other burning philosophical quandaries can be found in the new VERTIGO graphic novel BIGG TIME. It's 128 black-and-white pages of satire, from the outrageous mind of writer/artist Ty Templeton (Stig's Inferno, PLASTIC MAN SPECIAL). BIGG TIME is the story of Lester Bigg, a penniless aspiring actor now living homeless on the street. After a freak accident involving Lester's lack of access to a toilet and a conveniently located third rail (don't ask), Lester is able to see his guardian angel, Stavros. The problem is, Stavros has been doing the guardian angel thing for so long that he's become bored and has intentionally sabotaged Lester's life for his own amusement. Now, Stavros must make amends for his misdeeds and help grant Lester's wish for fame, fortune and the American dream within one month or face the terrible consequences... Attempting to penetrate the dark heart of the entertainment business, Lester and Stavros face the seedy underbelly of America's celebrity culture, complete with showbiz superficiality, brainless music industry trends, deadly game shows, powerful Hollywood agents, gorgeous groupies, a pit full of snakes and monkeys, and the madness of the star-making system.
