A Tortured Musician Struggles with More than ‘Making It’ in BLUE IN GREEN
March 16, 2020A new original graphic novel at Image Comics, per creators Ram V and Anand RK, will serve as an exploration of ambitions, expectations and horrific depths in, Blue in Green.
The book is a dark and haunting portrayal of a young musician and his pursuit of creative genius, as well as the monstrous nature of which threatens to consume him as it did his predecessor, nearly a half-century earlier.
“Blue In Green is a coming-together of some of my biggest influences, both in terms of genre and in stylistic tone. It comes at a time when realism and grounded storytelling is something of great interest to me. It is both a distant and an intensely personal project at the same time,” said RK. “The protagonist, in many ways, is me. I have used myself as reference to draw him, grew a beard for this reason, many of my own little personal traits have made their way into him. The gradual shift in a man’s psyche and his grip on his world, the way Ram plays with the tone and craftfully shifts it, and then brings it all back, without making it look jarring, this is something that I find quite exciting about this book, even as I draw it.”
Blue in Green is slated to go on sale in comic shops on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020, and will arrive in bookstores on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
