Ablaze Publishing Announces New Graphic Novel Biography ‘Hendrix: Electric Requiem’

Jimi Hendrix, one of the greatest guitarists of all time (if not THE greatest) is the subject of an all-new graphic novel  biography, Hendrix: Electric Requiem from Ablaze Publishing. This new publication explores the life, career and music of Grammy-award winning musician Jimi Hendrix, who Rolling Stone ranked #1 on their Greatest Guitarists of All Time!

Written by Mattia Colombara with art from Gianluca Maconi, Hendrix: Electric Requiem is due out Wednesday 18th May, and we have a first look as well as a synopsis to share with today:

“A compelling trip into the mind and world of Jimi Hendrix.  Electric Requiem is an exhilarating ride, from Jimi’s difficult beginnings in the South, plagued by racism, through his global stardom and triumph at Woodstock, and the excessive lifestyle of a rockstar. A rockstar who, even with all his experiences, never forgot where he came from.  Skillfully illustrated by artist Gianluca Maconi, this gripping tale of music, personal demons and thirst for glory is a must-have for any Jimi Hendrix fan. Includes bonus material on Hendrix’s life.”

Any fan will immediately recognise some of the iconic moments featured in these preview pages, but I’m sure you’ll agree, they are certainly representing stunningly through Maconi’s art. Judging from these pages, I’d say this new graphic novel is a must for all fans.
