Description

George Clayton Johnson's life was a remarkable journey through Hollywood's golden age. He co-wrote the screenplay for Ocean's Eleven and penned iconic scripts for shows like The Twilight Zone and Star Trek. Johnson forged lasting friendships with visionary science fiction writers, including Ray Bradbury, Theodore Sturgeon, Richard Matheson, and Rod Serling. In his later years, Johnson befriended Henry Chamberlain, a comics journalist and artist who would pay tribute to his life and career in the graphic novel George's Run. This book brings Johnson's creative world to vivid life through illustrated color panels, creating an intimate conversation between friends as they recall key moments in pop culture history. Johnson's story is one of collaboration, creativity, and camaraderie with fellow writers who shaped the science fiction landscape of the 20th century. George's Run offers a unique glimpse into this fascinating era, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Hollywood's golden age and the intersection of art and science fiction.
