About the Book

Rush, the well-known Canadian power trio, is one of the most influential rock bands of all time, with more than 40 million records sold worldwide. This epic, fully authorised graphic novel chronicles the birth of Rush's classic album A Farewell to Kings. Relive the trials and triumphs alongside Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, and Neil Peart as they create the masterpiece of progressive rock that gave birth to 'Closer to the Heart' and the majestic 'Xanadu'. The book features artwork and storytelling from Fantoons, with new input from Alex Lifeson (Rush guitar player) and Terry Brown (the producer of the album).

About the Author :
Originally from Caracas, David Calcano has been fusing still and moving pictures with music to craft meaningful stories for over a decade as the Chief Director of Fantoons Animation Studios. He's written for the page and screen, as well as directed animation for the likes of Disney, Universal, Warner, Westbrook (Will Smith's company), Publicis, Rush, Nat King Cole, Iron Maiden, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa, The Beach Boys, Johnny Ramone, and more... the list goes on and on! His creative output includes award-winning animated music videos, advertising spots, album packages, concert visuals, and critically-acclaimed books. Beyond his professional delivery, David is a massive music fan with a collection of more than 10,000 records and counting. Lindsay Lee is an illustrator and co-author. An artist since birth, Lindsay brings her love of music and her unique illustration style to her role as an artist and writer for the award-winning animation studio Fantoons, where she has worked on best-selling titles like "The Beach Boys: ABCs of California," "Rush: The Making of a Farewell to Kings," and "Neil Peart: The Illustrated Quotes." Lindsay currently lives in Tennessee, and when she's not helping create material for the greatest artists in the cosmos, she's perfecting her own original comic. Terry Brown is a legendary British record producer involved in a variety of work. He has been noted for his involvement with the Canadian rock band Rush. Brown produced every album by the band from Fly by Night (1975) up to Signals (1982).

Review :
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 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 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.--Ed Stenger "Rush Is A Band Blog" 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"
