Paper and Plastick has announced the kickoff of their Story/Song collaborative series. The project will involve a newly recorded version of an existing song from an artist or band and a 12-page graphic novel to accompany it. The 12-page story will be based on the song at hand, and each story will be self-contained, although there may be recurring characters at times. The graphic novels will be available for download along with the new versions of the songs in the Paper + Plastick webstore..
The first installation of "Story/Song" will be with Tony Sly of No Use For A Name and with Matt Anderson adapting the song for the script. Anderson, who previously worked on the on the 50 States webcomics, describes "Story/Song" as "the reverse of compiling a soundtrack for a movie."
The first release is expected in late May.
