MPLS Sound

Set in the vibrant, gritty music scene of 1980s Minneapolis, MPLS Sound is a single-issue comic from Humanoids that explores the creative and personal tensions within a fictional funk band on the verge of a breakthrough. Written by Hannibal Tabu and Joseph P. Illidge with striking art by Meredith Laxton, this self-contained story captures the era's cultural energy and the high stakes of artistic collaboration. It matters as a focused, character-driven snapshot of a pivotal moment in music history, told through the lens of comics.
