By Maryann Yin 

Lennon New York Years Comic (GalleyCat)IDW Publishing announced plans for a graphic novel entitled Lennon: The New York Years. The story for this project will be based on a biographical novel by David Foenkinos.

This graphic novel features writing by Eric Cobeyran and artwork by Horne. The publication date has been scheduled for May 2017.

Here’s more from the press release: “The graphic novel follows the extraordinary trajectory of the iconic singer/songwriter – from his difficult childhood, through Beatlemania, to his solo career. In his novel, Foenkinos imagined and transcribed the artist’s sessions on his therapist’s couch. Lennon reads like a classic autobiography, with the star as narrator.”
