Graphic novel about The Smiths to be released this month

The Smiths are subject of an upcoming graphic novel, Tales of The Smith: A Graphic Biography.

The official synopsis of the novel reads: “Tales of The Smiths is a comic book retelling of the band members’ teenage years, before the group was famous, and includes fascinating digressions about their influences (the New York Dolls, Nico, Sex Pistols, NY punk, Patti Smith, etc) and the times in which they were growing up. The story reaches its climax with the meeting of Morrissey and Marr, the formation of the band in 1982 and their first gig as The Smiths.”

Finally received my 450-page behemoth early copy of TALES OF THE SMITHS – which is now available for pre-order: amazon.co.uk/dp/1783055871 My #graphicnovel biography of #TheSmiths, #TALESOFTHESMITHS, has at last been collected and printed by @OmnibusPress and will begin distribution on March 22nd! Still ill!
