Image Comics released an early look at the six connecting covers for the upcoming Deep Cuts by Kyle Higgins and Joe Clark.
Chris Brunner provides the cover art, which highlights 60 years of music history, as explored through the mini-series.
Inspired by real events, Deep Cuts tells stories of the interconnected struggle, joy and hope in jazz as well as the (sometimes) stray connections that ultimately inspire each new generation.
Deep Cuts #1 is set in New Orleans, 1917. In the city’s bustling red-light district, a young clarinet player lands a job with his hero—but he’ll soon discover there’s more to the music business than playing the right notes.
Bonus backmatter material for each Deep Cuts issue will also include lead sheets of original songs by Chicago jazz composers, inspired by and connected to each issue’s story.
Deep Cuts #1 arrives on April 26, 2023.
