We would like to invite you to pump up the volume and get ready for the upcoming anthology by the fine folks over at www.poseurink.com. ABOUT Music touches our lives every day. It is an influential and defining part of all generations and cultures. We have compiled an anthology full of stories about the influence that music can have on life - be it the life of the artist as and individual or on the creative process. Over 200 pages of lost lovers, rocking out, spirit guides, ghosts, and dinosaurs - it's like an action adventure comic for the music lover in all of us. (Edited by Rachel Dukes, published by Poseur Ink.) In April 2007, we published Side A: The Music Lover's Graphic Novel that included such great artists as: Liz Greenfield, Ben Snakepit, Lars Brown, and Corey Marie Parkhill. (Featured in The Comics Journal, Razorcake, and Alternative Press Magazine.) We've tried our hand at making this installment even better! (Read praise for Side A over at Poseur Ink.)

You must have this too." - Sarah Jaffe, Newsarama "You can check out previews and the full contributors' list for this music-themed comics anthology [online], but what caught my eye were four names that are contributing: Jeffrey Brown, Jim Mahfood, Dave Crosland and Brandon Graham.
