The Unwritten is an American comic book written by Mike Carey[1] with art by Peter Gross.

[2] Published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics,[3][4][5][6] the book follows Tom Taylor, who was the inspiration for a series of hugely successful children's fantasy novels in the vein of Harry Potter.

The series deals with themes related to fame, celebrity, and the relationship between fiction and human consciousness.

Milne grew up feeling that his father had stolen his childhood from him, turned a profit from it and then given it back to him in a form he couldn't use.

[7] The series is collected into trade paperbacks: Additionally, Vertigo released in September 2013 an original graphic novel called The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor and the Ship that Sank Twice (hardcover, ISBN 1-4012-2976-X), a standalone story about the origin of Tommy Taylor and his powers.
