From the luminous colours of an idyllic childhood through the flamboyant hues of success and stardom, Cobain's story inevitably declines into a much darker palette. The script draws from the singer's tortured self-image as well as straightforward biographical fact so that the tone of the book fluctuates between subjective dream-state and objective reality. Much more than a biography, Godspeed is unlike anything you have read about Kurt Cobain before. Going beyond the facts, it transmutes Cobain's extraordinary life into an equally extraordinary work of art.

Death Rap Tupac Shakur

"Flameboy"

From the creators of Godspeed: The Kurt Cobain Graphic and Eminem: In My Skin comes an explosive new graphic novel, tracing the events leading up to the death of one of modern music's most charismatic performers. Tupac: One Nation Under a Gun chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of the notorious hip-hop superstar Tupac Shakur, the figurehead of a musical movement that came to define black culture in America and beyond. Exploring the recesses of a racist, damaged country, the book takes the reader on a self-destructive ride through the violence and corruption and greed of Los Angeles. The marriage of Barnaby Legg and Jim McCarthy's incendiary writing with Flameboy's potent, gritty visuals produces a new perspective on the controversial events surrounding the rise of Death Row Records, the brutality of street gang warfare and murder. From the hazy skies of Los Angeles to the back streets of New York, this tells the story of a unique talent cut down at just 25 years of age.

Death Rap: Tupac Shakur, A Life

Esta novela gráfica narra de forma magistral la historia de este famoso cantante. Un recorrido que abarca desde los agradables comienzos de una infancia idílica, hasta la profunda oscuridad de su trágico final. Esta novela gráfica constituye mucho más que una simple biografía, es algo que no se parece en nada a lo que haya podido leerse anteriormente sobre la vida de Kurt Cobain. La narración recurre tanto a la torturada imagen que de sí mismo tenía la popular estrella del rock, como a los acontecimientos puros y duros de su vida, consiguiendo que el tono narrativo oscile entre la ensoñación subjetiva del protagonista y la objetividad dramática de la realidad. This graphic novel is a masterful retelling of the life of Kurt Cobain from his idyllic childhood to his tragic death. It's more than a mere biography; it explores the singer's interior life and offers an uncensored look at events in his life.
