PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Spectrum is a frenetic, genre bending, formally inventive story about the magic and power of music with words by Rick Quinn and visuals by Dave Chisholm (Chasin' the Bird, Miles Davis and The Search for the Sound).

Melody Parker is losing her mind. Ada Latimer wants to be normal. Together, they will travel across the spectrum of the 20th century in search of madness: both the kind you inherit from your parents and the kind required to be an artist.

About the Author

Rick Quinn is a writer currently living in Raleigh, NC. Spectrum, co-created with Dave Chisholm, is his first published work. He is currently working on his first novel.

Dave Chisholm is a graphic novelist and musician currently living in Rochester, NY where he received his doctorate in jazz trumpet from the Eastman School of Music in 2013. His expertise in music as well as his formal inventiveness within the comics medium has resulted in a string of critically-acclaimed music-centric graphic novels including Miles Davis & the Search for the Sound (2023, Z2 Comics), Enter the Blue (2022, Z2 Comics), Chasin' the Bird: Charlie Parker in California (2020, Z2 Comics), and the groundbreaking graphic novel + original soundtrack Instrumental (2017, Z2 Comics). His newest work is Spectrum, made in collaboration with writer Rick Quinn: a genre-bending deep dive into a cosmic war taking place in the realm of music set in an alternate--and ever-shifting--20th century.
Hailed by ComicsBeat as "one of the most exciting comic auteurs working in comics today," Chisholm also has a passion for education and teaches comics and music at the Hochstein School and the Rochester Institute of Technology.
In his free time, Dave enjoys spending time with his family and his cats.
