"Like the smoky haze of a '70s arena show, a cloud of mystery and intrigue surrounds music's infamous 27 Club. Its members -- including Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse, to name just an few -- revolutionized music in their youth, only to die at the age of 27. Is it a conspiracy or merely a coincidence? A rocking crew of fifty-four comics artists were challenged to use their favorite member of the club as inspiration for original art and stories. Theis free-form, funky collection is over 200 pages of rock-n-roll comics, in tribute to the myth and magic of the 27 Club's lost stars and their shining, tragic legacy."--Page 4 of cover
