Claudia Corvette. From her tousled bedroom hair to her name–all the porn stars in this world take their names from supermodels and sports cars–she is adult entertainment's prototypical femme fatale. Her life is the collision of countless troubled–childhood cliches and grown–up wet dreams, projected onto her as surely as her videos project their blue light onto lonely men around the world.

From its first panel, How to Make Money Like a Porn Star draws the reader into the dark world of girls like Claudia, the men who fantasize about them, and the monsters who control them. In the hands of Rolling Stone writer Neil Strauss and illustrator Bernard Chang, this adult graphic novel weaves together black humor and blacker reality. Like all great American stories, it features humble beginnings, life–changing tragedy, stripping, abuse, implants, fame, addiction, bigger implants, abduction, gunplay, downfall, and even bigger implants. Not to mention a thousand shades of latex and L'Oreal.

Part parody, part morality tale, here is the truth about the porn life, its outsized visual splendor captured in a comic parade of doe–eyed centerfolds, its essence distilled in a story that will haunt every reader who has ever wondered where his next fantasy is coming from.

I thought this book was a fun ride from cover to cover. It was "laugh- out-loud" at some points, and extremely offensive in others. Every single detail in the book, from the fine print in the ads to the background images all goes towards building the world in which the main character, porn queen Claudia Corvette lives in.

This book is absolutely fantastic. A great ride from cover to cover. It never takes itself too seriously and like a classic DePalma film, it has a great time laughing at itself! The ads are all brilliant. Read 'em close. There's little clues, email addresses and websites that are all accessible! So cool! It's also the perfect follow up to Neil's Jenna Jamison book with an intro that really gets right to the heart of why he wrote this in the first place. Amazingly dark, tongue-in-cheek satire that is the equivalant of a really great popcorn film. Worth your time and your money!
