Description

Unofficial and unauthorised

When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, "No, I went to films".

From the set of 1993's Pulp Fiction, to a bar room meeting with Robert Rodriguez and an inspirational lunch with Leonardo DiCaprio, this unique graphic novel takes us across a series of Hollywood-inspired vignettes covering the movie-obsessed life and career of one of modern cinema's greatest filmmakers - Quentin Tarantino.

Join the conversation as Tarantino talks John Travolta into starring in Pulp Fiction, find out about the inspiration for his earliest screenplays and learn about Tarantino's obsessive childhood growing up in California.

For those who already know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris - as well as those looking for an insight into Tarantino's influences, inspirations and the development of his signature style - we present Quentin Tarantino: A Graphic Biography.

He was irascible and short-tempered, hugely passionate and emotional, absurdly talented and, for most of his lifetime, notoriously misunderstood and under-appreciated. And yet today,...
