Preview from the article: "All the decisions in Hollywood are made out fear," said screenwriter and the Undergraduate Chair of the Art Center College of Design's film department Ross LaManna, who recently wrote his own graphic novel, "Markus Fang." Even without a "Superman"-sized following, if a graphic novel has had any success at all, that alone makes it that much more worth the investment than an original idea, LaManna added.
