Rock out with Hendrix: Electric Requiem this May

Publisher ABLAZE delights and intrigues rock music and comics fans with the release on May 18th of Hendrix: Electric Requiem, a bold new Docu-Graphic novel about the life of iconic rocker Jimi Hendrix, depicted with flair and colorful psychedelic artwork that tells the story of the rise of the music pioneer who made an indelible mark on rock-and-roll and helped to change modern culture forever for future generations.

Hendrix: Electric Requiem explores the life, career and music of a true rock n’ roll god–Grammy award winning musician Jimi Hendrix—who Rolling Stone ranked #1 on their Greatest Guitarists of All Time!

A compelling trip into the mind and world of Jimi Hendrix. Electric Requiem is an exhilarating ride, from Jimi’s difficult beginnings in the South, plagued by racism, through his global stardom and triumph at Woodstock, and the excessive lifestyle of a rockstar. A rockstar who, even with all his experiences, never forgot where he came from. Skillfully written by Mattia Colombara and illustrated by Gianluca Maconi, this gripping tale of music, personal demons and thirst for glory is a must-have for any Jimi Hendrix fan. Includes bonus material on Hendrix’s life.
