Side A: The Music Lover's Graphic Novel

by Rachel Dukes (Editor), Ben Snakepit, Arbee Chapnik

Side A is packed with short stories about how music has inspired artists in their work and their lives. Thirty-three tales about the effects music has made in the creative process for a cross section of the artistic community. Ranging from established veterans to relative newcomers, this anthology shows that music is more than just words and sounds; like art, it is a way of life. Think of this book as a mixtape for the eyes!

Reviews

[D.T. Henderson]

Some of the art styles are cool, but some of the thinking in this book is very dated.

[Kristina Valencia]

I like the overall idea of this book and I think its execution is okay, but all the typos throughout drove me crazy.
