Has a song ever saved your life?
SPECTRUM #1 (CVR A)
Writer: Rick Quinn – Artist & Letterer: Dave Chisholm
Release Date: November 20th, 2024
Synopsis: Melody Parker is losing her mind. She’s living on the streets of Seattle during the WTO protests of 1999. She is seeing things. Androids. Aliens. Pigs in high fashion. And a creature named Echo—one of the Sustained: elemental beings with the power to alter reality through music. She invites Melody to join her as she brings about the end of the world. As Melody tries to escape this strange woman, suppressed memories from across vast spans of time flood into her awareness, bringing her very identity into question. You don’t want to miss this stunning new release from writer Rick Quinn and music-comic-specialist Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis & the Search for the Sound).
“You know that part in “99 Problems” where Jay-Z says “You crazy for this one, Rick”? That’s how I feel about Mad Cave agreeing to publish Spectrum. This is not an ordinary comic book. It’s a story about art and madness, told in a kaleidoscopic style that spans the whole of the 20th century. Dave and I pushed ourselves to the absolute limits of our creativity, wanting to make something idiosyncratic and unconventional in every way that reader’s could get truly lost in.”
– Writer, Rick Quinn
“When Rick sent me the script for the first issue, I was floored. I had to draw this book. It was like he read my mind. As a lifelong musician, comic creator, sci-fi fanatic, and obsessor of everything weird, strange, and uncanny, Spectrum had everything I would want in a book. It manages to be simultaneously heartfelt, experimental, cosmic, and personal. I wanted the visuals to follow suit, and so I pushed myself in every way. Each issue will surprise and wow readers. Needless to say: I’m really really happy with how it turned out. We were both elated when Mad Cave Studios picked it up for publication!”
– Artist, Dave Chisholm
