If you saw Morgan Spurlock’s 2004 documentary "Super-Size Me," you know that the film contained some pretty disgusting info about the fast food industry. I can’t remember where I read it, but seems like I heard where McDonald’s didn’t add healthier choices because of "Super-Size Me" … rrriiiiggghhhttt …
Anyway, a lot of the really disgusting stuff never even made it into the film, so it’s going into a graphic novel. Spurlock’s production company Warrior Poets is teaming with Dark Horse to create the book, "Supersized: Strange Tales From a Fast Food Culture," set for a spring 2010 release.
Spurlock said after the movie was released, he was bombarded with calls from folks wanting to share their stories from the bowels of the fast food industry. Like the story of a fat man whose cremation made a mortuary smell like French fries. And the man who built in his garage a museum of McDonald’s food that never aged.
"As great as they were on paper, I think they’ll be better told in a graphic-novel form," Spurlock said. "They’re funny, they’re gross, and hopefully they’ll be informative too."
If you haven’t seen the movie, watch it after the jump for free…
