The novel is co-written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti — who previously relaunched theseries for DC Comics — and illustrated by John McCree. It chronicles the New Wave band’s rise from the downtown Manhattan clubs to stardom in the late Seventies, which Palmiotti was there to witness.
“I spent many a late night checking out the music scene when punk and New Wave were becoming a thing in the late Seventies and have seen Blondie perform a number of times when they started and many times after,” Palmiotti tells“I was the perfect fan in every way. I loved the music, was a vinyl junkie, and collected just about everything related to the band that there was.”
“I didn’t grow up in New York,” adds Conner. “I was in the suburbs. But the whole suburban girl who moves to the city to make it big , and mix it up with some very cool people pretty much inspired my life. Those are some of the parts I’m going to be bringing to the book. I think Debbie [Harry] and her attitude and her style have been influencing and inspiring my art and characters for years. Harley included!”, from historical details to the dialogue.
