Full title :Skandalon / Julie Maroh ; translated by David Homel.

Summary

Controversy and scandal follow charismatic singer and rock icon Tazane wherever he goes, and he soon comes to realize the high cost of fame as he becomes trapped in an endless spiral of self-destruction.

"Julie's follow-up graphic novel, Skandalon, marks a startling change of pace: a fiery, intense story about the recklessness of fame. "Skandalon," found in the Gospels, refers to a persistent trap or obstacle, such as the one that confounds the mesmerizing, Jim Morrison-like lead character Tazane. He is a true rock icon: passionate, arrogant, selfish, and sometimes violent, the charismatic singer is a beacon for controversy and scandal. But the public that worships him and the media that lavishes attention on him are waiting for him to fall from grace. At times shocking, Skandalon is a powerful and relentless meditation on the high cost of fame, and the demons awaiting anyone who refuses to be wary of them."--
