Comic Book: The Movie is a 2004 direct-to-DVD mockumentary directed by and starring Mark Hamill.

The story revolves around comic book fan Don Swan and his battle, at least in his mind, against a fictional film studio that's about to announce a film based on his favorite superhero, Commander Courage.

Most of the movie was filmed at the San Diego ComicCon.

The stars of the movie are primarily known for their work as cartoon voice-actors: Billy West, Roger Rose, Jess Harnell, Lori Alan, Daran Norris, Jim Cummings, Jill Talley, Arleen Sorkin, Gary Owens, James Arnold Taylor, Maurice LaMarche, and Tom Kenny. Hamill himself is best known for his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, and also the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series.

Cameo appearances in the movie include Kevin Smith, Hugh Hefner, Stan Lee, Bruce Campbell, Peter David, Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, David Prowse, Edd Hall, and Matt Groening.
