Description

In Child Star, bestselling author Box Brown creates a biography of Owen Eugene, a fictional 1980s child actor.

Child Star is a fictional documentary-style graphic novel about how growing up in the spotlight robs young actors of a true childhood. Child star Owen Eugene had it all: a hit sitcom on prime time, a Saturday morning cartoon, and a memoir on the bestseller list. The secret to his success was his talent for improvisation . . . and his small size. On screen he made the whole world laugh, but behind the scenes his life was falling apart. Hollywood ate him alive. Inspired by real-life child stars, bestselling author Brian Box Brown created Owen Eugene, a composite character whose tragic life is an amalgam of 1980s pop culture.
