For all you comic book and punk fans, some news on this front:

“I’m A Mess”- a digital Sid Vicious comic book by freelance graphic artist Alex poray has just published what is the first ever Sid Vicious comic book. It is only available here

Featuring Sid in Hyde Park, Sid & Nancy heroin interview, The Efrom Allen cable tv show, Sid’s Idols, Vicious tracks and lots more. It is a detailed and lengthy read at over 122 pages in full colour.This ebook contains some moderate language that some readers may find offensive.

CBGB’s has confirmed that they are also working with BOOM! Studios on a CBGB comic book. They have been this week handing out copies of a single page of the CBGB comic by Jesse Blaze Snider and Chuck BB at South by Southwest in Austin, USA.

The four issue mini-series will kick off this July with a cover by Jaime Hernandez. The anthology will include contributions from various people including: Ana Matronic of the band Scissor Sisters, Kieron Gillen, Oscar-nominated screenwriter Kim Krizan, Chuck BB  and more.

“BOOM! is all about delivering fantastic work that’s not found anywhere else,” says editor Ian Brill. “The comic industry needs an outlet for the type stories found in CBGB, and we’re happy to be the ones working hard to bring these stories to smart, discriminating readers.”

“BOOM! got what we were about” says Louise Staley of CBGB. “Our attitude jumps off every page.”

“The club was as much about those in the mosh pit as it was the bands that played there,” adds Robert Williams of CBGB. “The narrative in this series celebrates both.”

The comic will come out under BOOM!’s new BOOM! Town label and will be collected into a hardcover in November.
