Giraffes in My Hair: A Rock 'n' Roll Life

Carol Swain and Gordon Hecht bring a surreal, autobiographical touch to this Fantagraphics series, which launched in 2009 and adapts the rock 'n' roll memoirs of a musician into a single, visually inventive comic. Swain's distinctive, dreamlike art style captures the strange and often humorous detours of a life on the road and in the studio. It stands as a compact, artist-driven portrait of a specific musical era.
