Raves and Reviews
This fully-authorized graphic novel reveals all the details behind the scenes (from heated discussions over the direction of the album to candid, share laughs between the guys) in a vivid, full-color comic book.
– Tim Chan, ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
Surprising, really, just how much this graphic novel brings new, highly enjoyable dimensions to the story behind the making of Rush's landmark fifth album [A Farewell to Kings]
– James McNair, PLANET ROCK
The Making Of A Farewell To Kings is a must have for any Rush fan. Like the music of the band themselves it’s done with the greatest quality, attention to detail and humor. A great graphic novel and fun read!
– Eddie Trunk
The story of the making of A Farewell to Kings has been told before, but never in such a fresh and unique way. The format "fits" Rush and their fans perfectly, and FANTOONS literally brings the story to life with this graphic novel. It's a welcome addition to the Rush library, and a must read for any Rush fan.
