Supper’s Ready
For the past 40 years interpreting and illustrating the Genesis mesmerizing “Supperʼs Ready” (Foxtrot, 1972) has been a dream. After acquiring the licensing rights to use the lyrics, the design for a professional comic book was started.
The comix
36 pages (6.625 x 10.1875 inches)
Title: Supperʼs Ready
Subtitle: A Visual Interpretation of Music from Genesis
This is the comix book that illustrates the complete lyrics of Supper’s Ready from the band Genesis originally composed and performed in 1972. More like an illustrated novel, this is the only visual rendition depicting the evil and grace of the lyrics of this 23-minute musical masterpiece. (Hint: If the lyrics seem to be an interpretation of the Bible’s Book of Revelations, you might be correct.)
The companion book
80 pages (9.5 x 7 inches)
Title: Getting Supper Ready
Subtitle: The Making of Supperʼs Ready
This is the backgrounder book presenting the many interpretations of the lyrics, how it relates to the Bible's “Book of Revelation,” and how the Supper’s Ready comix was created.
