Wizzywig Volume 1: Phreak
Monday, May 26th, 2008 running time 03:44
Josh takes a look at an indie graphic novel based mostly on the life of hacker Kevin Mitnick.
Creator Ed Piskor writes and draws the story of Kevin Phenicle, a boy genius who learns how to hack the bus system, the phone system, and as many computer systems as he can tap into. The story is based not so loosely on that of famed hacker Kevin Mitnick, so if you've got a think for the early days of computer hacking, this might be the book for you. Check out Wizzywig Volume 1: Phreak.
