An official Jimi Hendrix graphic novel is to hit stores this November. Titled Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze, it's been put together by Titan Comics – the team behind publications from franchises like Blade Runner, Tank Girl and Doctor Who - alongside Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., the company headed by Jimi's sister, Janie Hendrix.
The graphic novel promises to mix classic sci-fi pulp and and Afro-futurism, taking the reader on psychedelic journey that follows Hendrix as he embarks on "a perilous quest to the very centre of the universe in search of a magical talisman powerful enough to unlock the incredible latent power of his trademark sound, so that he can free a diverse population starved of rock‘n’roll by a tyrannical intergalactic force hellbent on silencing music and enslaving all life."
