About the series
From 2014 onward, Oni Press published The Auteur, a five-issue comic series by writer Rick Spears and artist James Callahan. It follows a struggling filmmaker who will do anything to achieve Hollywood success, blending dark comedy with grotesque satire of the entertainment industry. The series stands out for its unflinching, absurdist take on creative desperation and the brutal compromises of making art for profit.
