Musical Legends

    (Last Gasp, 2003)
™ and © Justin Green

Collected from Tower Records’ Pulse! magazine, this compilation of musical biography strips is impossible to put down. In dense one-page chunks, writer/artist Justin Green guides readers through the history of blues, jazz, pop, and his precious rock and roll. Call his vignettes the truth with a dollop of legend sprinkled in. All the usual suspects are here, as Green covers such subjects as Elvis’ Philanthropy, the origin of the Chipmunks, the Beatles, and where Cat Stevens went wrong. But the real magic lies in the untold tales (until now, that is), accounts of pioneers like Charlie Christian, Brunson Campbell, and Anita O’Day. Their stories and many, many more await the musically curious in this fascinating collection.
