From the acclaimed writer of Wolverine, Paul Cornell, has written this love song for anyone who has ever been, or wanted to be, in a band.

In This Damned Band #4 it’s 1974 and bassist Alex Lodge owes money to his “pharmaceutical representatives” as his band Motherfather tries to record their latest album in a studio that has a satanic infestation. Just another day in the life of your average rock ‘n’ roller!

British Monty Python decadence permeates every panel in This Damned Band #4

In this rockumentary with a difference. Spaced-out rockers face off against faceless thugs with guns and what the mysterious Browley keeps in his room will give you nightmares even without pharmaceutical assistance.

This Damned Band #4 is very weird and very wonderful in equal parts and with a recommendation from George R. R. Martin this will blow your mind and make you wish you’d never sold that plastic guitar.
