Graphic Novel Reviews: Hollywood Trash

Stephen Sonneveld and Pablo Verdugo deliver a humorous, satirical tale of Hollywood excess in an incredibly accessible manner. Hollywood Trash collects issues 1-5 completing a story arc that follows James and Billy through probably the most exciting shift as a garbage collectors ever committed to paper.

The story opens on Billy, new to the sanitation game, and James, a seasoned professional going about their business, collecting garbage in exclusive neighborhoods.

The men find themselves fighting robots and even forest fires, amongst other things – in a single days work.
