Tori Amos: Soon at a comics store near you
Are you ready for Tori Amos: The Comic Book? The ethereal piano goddess with
the Titian hair will have her songs turned into a graphic novel anthology
called Tori Amos' Comic Book Tattoo, slated for release this summer.
The project was announced in this month's SPIN magazine ( Architect 曰: SPIN
的原文報導我暫時找不到, sorry. ), and apparently some 70 artists have already
signed on to transform Tori's deeply personal and sometimes abstruse lyrics
into artwork. The 400-plus page full-color collection should be ready in time
for the San Diego Comic-Con this July.
Seems Tori and editor Rantz A. Hoseley have been talking about the idea for
the last 15 years. As she told SPIN, the decision to go ahead with the comic
was both difficult and exciting: "Obviously, I'll need to have a level of
trust to turn over these songs to each writer. With the unknown, there can be
a feeling of reticence, but that in itself can be sexy."
Sexy? Quite possibly. Strange? Almost guaranteed. Tori's songwriting has a
fantastical quality that should lend itself well to animation. And her lyrics
- which tackle everything from rape to religion, masturbation to miscarriage
- certainly provide endless story fodder. Though, if I might be so bold, could
I request that someone illustrate "Caught a Light Sneeze" so that maybe,
finally, I'll know what the hell Tori is singing about?
