Hollywood! Legendary director Alfred Peacock has acquired the
rights to bring Spider-Ham's spectacular story to the silver

connections to secure on-set credentials, where he not so subtly
tries to improve the film's depiction of his alter ego and fix all
the 'continuity errors'. Now, Spider-Ham must face down an army of
ninja production assistants and some truly shoddy CGI to prevent
this box-office bomb from blowing up his reputation! Will
everyone's favorite pig clear his name? Or is this porky protector
headed for the cutting room floor? Who knows? You'll have to read
to find out! But one thing's for sure - Hollywood May-Ham! is an
