Music History in Graphic Novels (Episode 86)

In this episode we look at how graphic novels are pushing the
boundaries of pop music history, bringing new perspectives and
fans. Where life imitating art is just as  possible as art
imitating life. How like the inked pages themselves, the books
color their stories to accentuate their ideas and themes. Lighter,
darker, more intense, more fanciful, more realistic, more
fantastical. Entire biographies or genres are carefully condensed
into imaginative visions. Adaptations that leave lasting
impressions that are not necessarily bound by what is real. So move
back in your mother’s basement, fire up the Batmobile, and bring
out the shoebox of old Zippy the Pinhead comics. In this episode,
we explore the symbiotic relationship between music history
myth-building and graphic novels. Highway Hi-Fi is a proud member
