PSYCHODERELICT is the
first comic book written by Pete Townshend, the lead guitarist and main
songwriter of The Who. It first took form as a concept album, an album
of rock songs interspesed with a radio play penned by Townshend. The
album was released in 1993. In 2009, the radio play was adapted as a webcomic. Click here to read the web version. The comic is now available as a book. The experience of listening to PSYCHODERELICT is greatly improved when listened to with this comic. PSYCHODERELICT tells the story of a washed up, alcoholic, depressed, lonely, former flower child rock star, Ray High, and the very strange, dubious way he restores himself, and bounces back into musical relevance. It's a story about art, motivation to make art, depression, friendship, love and sexual attraction; artists, and the people around artists who exploit them. It's required reading for any creative person; the wise, passionate words of that incredibly talented master of rock and roll, Pete Townshend. A5, 48 pages, cardstock
cover, colour interior.
