A True Voodoo Child !

VOODOO CHILD....

the Illustrated Legend

of  Jimi Hendrix 

This is one sharp graphic novel !

Being a child of the mid to late 1960's, Jimi was one of the mind-blowing rock stars that I listened to, although I never saw him in concert.

I basically listened to his pop hits on the AM / FM radio stations  during my high school years until  I went to college. Then having my own pad I bought his albums at a used record store in downtown San Diego and listened to them.

I have never been one to bone up on the  rock artists' personal lives, so this graphic novel really enlightened me as to what I didn't know about Jimi !   'Far out man' !

The graphic novel uses snippets of Jimi's lyrics as commentary on the action at the appropriate moments, so as to heighten the drama of the guitarist's colorful life. I found this to be a cool way of getting the scene across to the reader. 

I am not normally a fan of Bill Sienkiewicz's art, but this is a great showcase for his style of art.  For those interested in Jimi Hendrix and a fan of comic book style of art, this is a 'must read' for you !   Additionally there is a 30 minuted CD of Jimi's home recordings that come with this graphic novel!  We don't sell this item, you can check out other eBay sellers or your usual book venues to purchase this item!

However for those interested in  rock star comic books we have a few rock n' roll comics in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.   

Thanks for reading this blog post, and feel free to post your comment!
