ACK! What *IS* this movie?? Help me remember...!

Ok, what was this movie? It was late 80’s or early 90’s…

The movie is about a comic-book animator (possibly Gabriel Byrne…?) who is creating a new comic about “something-City” (I can’t remember the first word, and IIRC, it’s also the title of the movie).

Anyway, he illustrates this woman in the comic who becomes a real-life babe played by Kim Basinger…

That’s all I can remember about it, from the previews. I never saw the full movie.

Anyone know what this is? It doesn’t appear to be listed in Basinger’s filmography on IMDB.

Help!
TIA
