In Raina, Craig finds his muse and reconnects with the urge to draw that he had recently abandoned as a pointless waste of God's time. This being a comic, we actually get to see this inspiration manifested. Thompson indulges in pages of Raina sleeping or typing, surrounded by fantastical imagery.

But that job fell to Russell Crowe, Jackman and half the rest of the male population of Australia. Bana made one homegrown film that caused heads to swivel, the grimly comic "Chopper", based on the life of Mark (Chopper) Read, a spiky, unregenerate murderer who became a best-selling memoirist. "People were expecting a lighthearted romp through the criminal world," he says, "and they didn't get that." Bana, who put on layers of flesh and a scurvy, sociopathic smile...
