garage band.

a fantastic graphic novel my pal Gorde lent me... Gipi's "Garage Band"... nice tight interesting story about 4 guys, their backgrounds and the garage... beautiful watercolor art...

amazon's description ('cause they can form full sentences over there, unlike myself): "In a wash of melancholy watercolors and with a sense of inescapable anxiety in the line work, Italian writer-artist Gipi tells the story of four very different boys who want to make music. As they meet in the garage that nervous Giuliano's father has let them use, clashes occur, all finely rendered in simple sweeps of story and dialogue. When troublemaker Stefano gets them an honest-to-goodness opportunity with a record label, the group attempts an ill-advised theft of musical equipment, driving the story to a tense but ultimately hopeful end. Somber throughout, with powerful use of well-placed silent panels, the art is both unusual and evocative. The characters, often less than admirable as individuals, come together believably to display loyalty to one another and real joy in their music. With a strong indie sensibility, this book is a good choice for readers interested in edgy art and human drama."

thanks again to Dave "Gorde" who does his own "Being Gordy" comic work... check him out here.
