From the creator of Godspeed: The Kurt Cobain Graphic and Eminem: In My Skin comes an explosive new graphic novel about the rise and fall of The Sex Pistols. Thanks to Steve Parkhousersquo;s wonderfully vivid illustrations and Jim McCarthyrsquo;s clever distillation of the script that rewrote rock lsquo;nrsquo; roll and much else besides; the Pistolsrsquo; story returns to the rough and tumble of the comic strip from which it derived so much of its initial inspiration. Englandrsquo;s original punks explode from the pages with the same disrespect for authority that had the British establishment up in arms during the Queenrsquo;s 25th anniversary jubilee. And no one would have enjoyed this take on the Pistols more than the talersquo;s real casualty; Sid Vicious; who devoured comics almost as much as he did the destructive stuff.
