Blondie have teamed up with Z2 comics for Against the Odds , a new graphic novel out this fall. The novel is co-written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti — who previously relaunched the Harley Quinn series for DC Comics — and illustrated by John McCree. It chronicles the New Wave band’s rise from the downtown Manhattan clubs to stardom in the late Seventies, which Palmiotti was there to witness. “I spent many a late night checking out the music scene when punk and New Wave were becoming a thing in the late Seventies and have seen Blondie perform a number of times when they started and many times after,” Palmiotti tells Rolling Stone. “I was the perfect fan in every way. I loved the music, was a vinyl junkie, and collected just about everything related to the band that there was.” Related Cypress Hill to Celebrate 30th Anniversary of Debut Album With New Graphic Novel David Johansen, Debbie Harry, Thurston Moore Join Sylvain Sylvain Tribute Show … [Read more...] about Blondie Chronicle Their Rise to New Wave Stardom in New Graphic Novel
