Rush Clockwork Angels Comic Book Series Coming In Spring

12/12/2013
. (hennemusic) Rush are bringing the story of their 2012 album, "Clockwork Angels", to the world of comic books next spring. USA Today reports the 6-issue Boom! Studios miniseries Clockwork Angels will launch in March.

Rush lyricist/drummer Neil Peart hatched the coming-of-age story of a na�ve youngster in a turn-of-the-century world of airborne steam liners, pirates, carnivals, working alchemy and wind-up contraptions with novelist Kevin J. Anderson, who wrote the Clockwork Angels novel and is also penning the comic-book adaptation.

"Kevin and I had talked for years about combining a novel and an album in some fashion," explains Peart, "but I guess the idea had to grow up as Kevin and I did � gaining maturity and confidence in our own separate crafts, while gaining the life experience necessary to give the story its scale and depth. So, rather than a longtime dream realized, this project is more like a fantastic new dream unfolding before us." more on this story
