Ten years after his suicide, Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain becomes a comic hero. Under the title "GodSpeed", the Berlin publisher Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf will release the book on March 1. The illustrators and authors Flameboy, Barnaby Legg, and Jim McCarthy present in the comic "their very own perspective on the life of the Nirvana singer", according to the publisher. The 100-page volume will not depict the life of the charismatic rock star 1:1.
The creators "play with ideas and connect what has been and what is speculated in fan circles", the announcement states. It will show the idyllic childhood, the stardom and success, but also Cobain's drug addiction and despair.
Cobain, frontman of the successful rock group Nirvana, shot himself in the head with a shotgun on April 5, 1994. His excessive lifestyle as well as his marriage to singer Courtney Love had repeatedly made headlines and contributed to his cult status.
