Ray Faraday NelsonThe story behind "They Live". Dad's short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" had been pretty much continuously in print in multiple languages since the late '60s. In the early '80s, a friend convinced Ray to turn it into a graphic novel called "Nada".
The Nada comic hadn't been on the shelves for a week before John Ca...rpenter was on the line.
The moral of this story is that Hollywood doesn't read books, but does read comic books (er, graphic novels).
