A new graphic novel project is heading our way this September from artist Joe Currie and writer Ben Wheatley. Said to be ‘a melting pot of 2000ad, Metal Hurlant, Kirby tech, psychedelic 60s art, Doctor Who, Douglas Adams, Kraut Rock, Star Trek and Star Wars’ their graphic novel, Kosmik Musik also has a musical accompaniment from the musical group Beak>, who worked closely with the artists.
Check out the official synopsis of the graphic novel here…
The galaxy is a big place–but not big enough for Mick and Eve as they are chased across it by cops, inter-dimensional plunderers, rogue artificial intelligences, middle-aged assassins and a third-tier superhero team.
Come with us on a rip roaring, planet hopping adventure. Punches will be thrown; tears will be shed and music will be played on vinyl on vintage record players as Mick and Eve try to solve every sentient creature’s fundamental questions like why and what… and eh?
Ben and Joe met at art school in the 90s where they both were involved in a lot of comic book drawing and reading. It’s taken thirty years to finally get their acts together and create this book. In the meantime, Joe has been sculpting and painting. Ben has been writing and directing films.
Kosmik Musik has been two years in the making and will be available on 23rd September in a variety of options including a deluxe box set and standalone 10” Vinyl soundtrack by Beak> via www.invada.co.uk, and a standalone graphic novel and slipcase set via www.kosmikmusik.co.uk.
