Smiths

Comic book artist Shawn Demumbrum spearheaded a successful Kickstarter project that is resulting in a 74-page illustrated comic book inspired by the lyrics from songs by The Smiths.

"I approached some of my fellow comic book creators and asked them to create 4-8 pages stories inspired by their favorite Smiths songs.  The song acts as an inspiration, jumping off point, theme or mood for the story.  Each story varies in style and genre."

My adolescent gay angst approves!

  1. For all those interested, you can currently pledge through Kickstarter to secure a copy (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/756324374/unite-and-take-over-comic-stories-inspired-by-the). We won’t be able to solicit it through comic book and bookstore distributors, so pledging through Kickstarter is the only way to get your copy before the holiday season.
