MUSIC
Godspeed
The Kurt Cobain Graphic
Barnaby Legg, Jim McCarthy & Flameboy
Godspeed: The Kurt Cobain Graphic takes
Cobain's story and plays it out as a totally unique
graphic novel. From the luminous colours of an
idyllic childhood through the flamboyant hues of
success and stardom, Cobain's story inevitably
declines into a much darker palette. The script
draws from the singer's tortured self-image as
well as straightforward biographical fact so that
the tone of the book fluctuates between
subjective dream-state and objective reality.
