Electric Century announce new self-titled album and graphic novel

ELECTRIC CENTURY have announced a new album and graphic novel!

The upcoming album, a self-titled effort, from the band featuring MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE‘s Mikey Way, is their second studio effort and is scheduled to be released in September this year. The upcoming album will be accompanied by a graphic novel.

“I’m delighted to announce this book!” says Mikey Way. “The genesis of the story has been many years in the making, created with some of my closest friends. Getting to bring the two things I am most passionate about together – comics & music – has been exciting, challenging, and unbelievably rewarding. I’ve been waiting to tell this type of story about my home state for a long time. I truly hope everyone enjoys it.”

Comic writer Shaun Simon adds, “I couldn’t be happier working with Mikey again and especially at Z2, a publisher with a firm base in the world of music and culture centric books, that values quality over quantity. Toby Cypress has become one of my favourite artists over the past few years. It’s an incredible honour to work with such a talent and watch him bring this world to life with us.”

“The team I’m working with is inspiring, and killing it on the script,” says artist Toby Cypress. “I grew up in many of the areas the story takes place along the Jersey Beaches and casinos. This project is turning into a love letter to those amazing times back in the 80s.”

Electric Century and its accompanying graphic novel will be released in September this year. More details will be revealed soon.
