Blues #[nn]
A 1993 issue of Blues titled "Patton," featuring stories by Robert Crumb and Jukka Heiskanen, with artwork and inking by Robert Crumb and lettering by Anu Tontti, presents a distinctive visual and narrative style in its exploration of the featured character. The cover, also by Robert Crumb, complements the interior with his signature illustrative approach.
"Patton" tells the story of Charley Patton, tracing his journey from the early days of the blues in the 1900s to his final years, capturing the life of one of the genre’s foundational figures. Written by a noted chronicler of American music and illustrated with evocative, period-accurate art, the story brings to life the roots and rhythm of a man whose voice shaped a generation.
In "Vanhat laulut ovat parhaita," Jo finds herself caught in a series of absurd, song-inspired mishaps, each one twisting classic lyrics into delightfully awkward real-life situations. From serenading a grumpy neighbor to accidentally sparking a misunderstanding at the courthouse, the story turns familiar melodies into playful, unexpected chaos.
"Jerry Roll Mortonin voodoo-kirous" unfolds as a haunting, rhythm-driven tale drawn from the real words of Jelly Roll Morton, weaving his own voice into a story where music, myth, and mystery collide. Set against the smoky pulse of early jazz, it explores the dark whispers of a curse that may have shadowed his rise and fall—both on stage and beyond.
