Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze

Praise

“A SPELLBINDING GRAPHIC NOVEL.” Janie Hendrix

“COSMIC GOODNESS.” Joseph P. Illidge (Harriet Tubman, The Winterfields)

“It’s a psychedelic space adventure filled with strange aliens, exotic destinations, futuristic technology, and, of course, Hendrix’s iconic music.” AV Club

“It’s a psychedelic odyssey packed full of sharp, vivid characterisation and story telling courtesy of Mellow Brown and DJ Ben Ha Meen, and Tom Mandrake’s art is a jaw dropping journey into the heart of human imagination.” Mass Movement

“A cosmic romp in a futuristic galaxy.” The Beat

“Reading the graphic novel Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze (Titan), is like experiencing Jimi Hendrix’s music in its original setting. The art evokes the psychedelic style of the 1960s—especially the posters, comics, and science fiction novels of the time—and the story carries through the themes of Hendrix’s music, with a musician traveling through intergalactic space to secure the talisman that will free the music and bring it back to the people.” Publishers Weekly

“A fine graphic novel with a powerful, beating heart. Recommended.” Blue Book Balloon

“Spiritually, it’s a cousin [to Heavy Metal Magazine]…with a 1960s icon recast as planetary saviour.” Slings & Arrows

“This is beautiful work…The best way to enjoy this is to put on a medley of Hendrix solos whilst reading…” – GuitarMax
