John Cusack will say anything he wants in his new venture. In fact, that was the ‘Say Anything’ star’s mindset as he embarked on his journey to publish his first graphic novel ‘Momo.’ “I didn’t want to negotiate telling a story really,” John told Variety in an interview published July 24 ahead of his appearance at 2026 San Diego Comic-Con to promote the book. “When you ask somebody to put like $20 to $30 million into a bank account [for a film budget], they want to have an opinion, and they’re afraid and all that stuff.” So, the 60-year-old—who has largely stepped away from Hollywood in recent years—added, “This was just like I wrote it, and I said, ‘I like this story.’” And once he wrote the book, he tapped the “beautiful, wonderful” artist Ignacio Noé to do the graphic novel’s illustrations. “Nobody edited anything I wrote or that he drew, and so it’s really a piece of work that was just done by two people,” John continued. “It was just me and Ignacio’s story, and that doesn’t happen today.” Cusack has also starred in the films ‘High Fidelity’ and ‘Serendipity’ among many others in his decades-long career. And he’s not the only famous one in the fam! His sister, Joan Cusack, also has a storied career in film—including playing yodeling cowgirl Jessie in the ‘Toy Story’ franchise.
