The twentieth-anniversary edition of Nick Craine’s searing
graphic novel about a legendary Canadian punk band, based on the
feature film by Bruce McDonald and the novel by Michael Turner. Joe
Dick, Billy Tallent, John Oxenburger, and Pipefitter are Hard Core
Logo — Vancouver’s legendary, but now defunct, punk band. Joe
Dick coaxes his former bandmates to overcome personal differences
and reunite for a benefit concert for their ageing punk mentor,
Bucky Haight, who has been shot. But the concert’s not enough for
Joe; he wants the band to hit the road again. For the Hard Cores
this means the beginning of the end, and they come to realize that
they can neither relive nor alter the past. From the pen of hugely
talented Canadian comic artist and illustrator Nick Craine comes a
searing rendition of those Hard Core days and nights. In this
graphic take on the story originally conceived by Michael Turner
and made into a critically acclaimed film by Bruce McDonald, Craine
pits the legendary Hard Cores against a collage-like backdrop of
bars, hotel rooms, the road, and the Canadian Prairies. Featuring a
new introduction by Lynn Crosbie and a tear-out guitar chord book,
Hard Core Logo: Portrait of a Thousand Punks weaves together a
patchwork narrative of found art, dialogue, songs, and incidental
bystanders. Craine skillfully renders his own unique cover-version
of this cult film classic in graphic novel form.
