Fortune and Glory is an Eisner Award–nominated 3-issue American comic book limited series by Brian Michael Bendis, telling the story of his attempts to break into Hollywood by writing screenplays for his noir comics. These comics include Jinx, A.K.A. Goldfish, and Torso. He was frustrated by the odd and mind-boggling business methods and culture that existed in Hollywood and turned this anger into the award-winning and highly praised comic.
