Description

Introducing the Lifehouse graphic novel, a groundbreaking work that brings to life the visionary screenplay written by the legendary Pete Townshend in the 1970s. This original graphic novel is not just a retelling; it is an artistic journey that dives deep into the dystopian world where music is outlawed, capturing the essence of rebellion and the enduring power of rock music.

Set in a future where melodies are silenced, the story follows a small band of passionate rebels determined to stage an underground concert. Their mission? To challenge a tyrannical regime and inspire hope among the oppressed, ultimately striving to free Britain and humanity from the shackles of tyranny. They believe that music can change the world, and they will stop at nothing to prove it.

Co-written by renowned authors James Harvey of Doom Patrol fame and David Hine, known for Spider-Man Noir, this graphic novel features stunning art by both Harvey and the talented Australian artist Max Prentis. The combination of their unique styles creates a visual feast that complements the gripping narrative beautifully. Additionally, the lettering is meticulously crafted by Micah Myers, while the inks are executed by the Eisner Award-winning artist Mick Gray. The editorial prowess of Hannah Means-Shannon, a former Managing Editor at Heavy Metal Magazine, further enriches this masterpiece.

The Lifehouse graphic novel is presented in a massive Vinyl LP format measuring 12.25′ x 12.25′. This unique presentation not only pays homage to the rock music culture it represents but also makes it an extraordinary collector’s item. For serious music enthusiasts, rock fans, and pop culture aficionados, this graphic novel is an essential addition to any collection.

Originally conceived as a sci-fi rock epic, Lifehouse was intended to follow the chart-topping success of The Who’s iconic album Tommy. However, it was set aside for 50 years, overshadowed by the legendary tracks of Who’s Next, including hits like “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” and “Behind Blue Eyes.” Now, after decades of anticipation, Lifehouse is ready to take center stage, captivating audiences with its powerful themes and artistic brilliance.

This graphic novel not only serves as a tribute to the enduring spirit of rock music but also as a reminder of the power of art in challenging oppression.
