Hell Has Frozen Over!

Neil Young is the latest celebrity to jump on the graphic novel band wagon. Greendale is a fictional town that he created on his 2003 album, and this is what the graphic novel, Neil Young's Greendale, is based on. The novel was written by Joshua Dysart and Mr. Young was bound and determined to get Cliff Chiang as the illustrator. Mr. Young was told that Mr. Chiang's schedule was booked for for quite awhile, but he sent him an email that said he would wait "until hell froze over." I guess you can say that kind of stuff when you are Neil Young, and people will listen. So as you can guess Cliff Chiang illustrated the novel--he spent almost 2 years on it. You can read a great article about it on the New York Times book section. I have ordered a copy for the library so be sure to look for it.
