Child StarChild Star

"At first glance, child star Owen Eugene seemed to have it all: a hit sitcom on prime-time TV, a Saturday morning cartoon show, and a bestselling memoir. But while young Owen made the world laugh on screen, his own life was falling apart behind the scenes. It's a story we've all seen, time and time again, on tabloid covers and entertainment gossip shows. Where did it all go wrong? Created as an amalgamation of the best and worst of 1980s pop culture and inspired by the tragic lives of real -life child stars of the era, Owen's story comes to life in this fictional documentary-style graphic novel from cartoonist Brian "Box" Brown."--Jacket flap.
