Award-winning music producer and writer, JEFF ROUGVIE, known for his work with David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Big Star, Morphine and others, will release a new comic book series, GUNNING FOR HITS, teamed up with artist Moritat (The Spirit, Harley Quinn, Hellblazer).
The series draws on Rougvie’s rich background in the industry, in particular his experiences with David Bowie, who inspired the first storyline. In tribute, GUNNING FOR HITS will be released on January 9, 2019, between the anniversaries of Bowie’s birth and death.
Published by Image Comics (The Walking Dead, Saga, Wicked & Divine), GUNNING FOR HITS is the story of Martin Mills, a record company talent scout in the shady 80s NYC music business. Following an unbroken string of hits, Martin jumps at the chance to make a comeback album with his favorite classic rock legend. But when things go wrong, Martin is forced to use deadly skills from his mysterious past in a desperate bid to save his reputation and the artist’s career.
Each issue includes a background feature and accompanying Spotify playlist.
GUNNING FOR HITS will be available in both digital and paperback.
