You'd be surprised at the the number comics that are based on, or inspired by music. This week iFanboy tunes into some of the latest comics who turn it all the way up to 11, like Phonogram, Scott Pilgrim and Blue Monday.
Blue Monday by Chynna Clugston and Local by Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly, are 2 great examples of this.
Other comics use music as the subject of their stories. Whether the main characters are in a band, or making music, or using music to fight demons, music is a key part of the stories told.:
Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley. Garage Band by Gipi Love the Way You Love by Jamie S. Rich and Marc Ellerby Black Metal by Rick Spears and Chuck BB
And finally, there have been a crop of comic books inspired by music, for both their stories as well as the tone set. In the first case, brit pop is explored in the pages of Phonogram. And for fans of Belle and Sebastian, there is the anthology collection Put the Book Back On the Shelf which features some top indie comic talent such as Rich Remender, Andi Watson, and many others.
