Publisher's Synopsis
Tales of the Starlight Drive-In is journalist-comic writer Michael San Giacomo's tribute to that great American institution - the drive-in theater with 26 stand-alone stories set in a drive-in theater from 1955 through 2005. While each can be read separately, together they form one complete tale of the rise and fall (and rise?) of a drive-in through stories that cross all genres including humor, romance, crime, horror, adventure, western and even super-heroes. Each story has a relationship with the movie playing at the time. Most are in color, except for those before 1962 and a few special stories that just needed to be black and white. Characters come and go, but Neil the projectionist is the rock who is there all the way through from the beginning to the end.
