Music Legends “Blondie” get OGN-treatment biography courtesy of Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and John McCrea
A new music-oriented original graphic novel chronicles Blondie’s rise to fame – from the underground clubs of New York to the top of the charts. Available this fall, Blondie: Against All Odds was penned by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, with British artist John McCrea on interiors. Amanda and Jimmy sat down with the band’s co-founders Debbie Harry and Chris Stein to make sure all elements are truthful.
Available in several formats via Z2 comics – including a super-deluxe music and art bundle – the 180-page book is described as an “imaginative take on an oral history of the band, interspersed with artistic interpretations of ten songs from their catalog.” Z2 adds that Against All Odds “captures the friction of NYC as the band fought their way to prominence, as well as the power and energy contained within the songs that fueled their rise to legendary status.”
“Combining an imaginative take on an oral history of the band, interspersed with artistic interpretations of 10 songs from their catalog, BLONDIE: AGAINST THE ODDS captures the friction of NYC as the band fought their way to prominence, as well as the power and energy contained within the songs that fueled their rise to legendary status.”
