Описание:
This is a graphic docudrama, an account in comic-strip format of the turbulent life of rock star Jimi Hendrix. Like a cinematic docudrama, it hews to the events of Hendrix's career but creates dialogue and uses various devices--notably, snippets of Hendrix's lyrics as commentary on the action at appropriate moments--to heighten the drama of the guitarist's colorful life. Unfortunately, the events themselves are overly familar to most rock fans, and their treatment here generally falls into rock-star cliches. The banality of much of the imagined dialogue, which frequently lapses into sixties-speak ("Far out," "Dig it man" ), doesn't help. The project is saved, however, because it marks the return to comics of one of the medium's most innovative artists, Bill Sienkiewicz, who's been largely absent from the field for several years. His imaginative, evocative full-color illustrations and narrative mastery supply much-needed substance that turns a rock-bio-in-comics into a genuinely compelling package.
This original graphic novel was created and produced by Martin I. Green, the original script was written by Jeff Young and it was illustrated by the always superb Bill Sienkiewicz. It was first published in 1995 by Viking Penguin.

The original graphic novel included a free CD with six of Jimi's home recordings from 1968, that were previously available only as a bootleg. I took the liberty of including the six songs in mp3 format (192 kbps).
