Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – 40×40: Bad Reputation / I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll Paperback Book

Z2 Comics has teamed up with rock legend Joan Jett for a new graphic novel to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of her Bad Reputation and I Love Rock ‘N Roll albums. 

Carianne Brinkman, president of Blackheart, issued the following statement regarding the collaboration:

“When we began working with Z2 Comics on Joan Jett And The Blackhearts 40 x 40 for the 40th Anniversary of I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll and Bad Reputation, we reflected on all the rejection and opposition Joan faced from the industry as a woman with a guitar, especially at the beginning of her career. Luckily, she blocked out the noise and showed the doubters she could do it herself. The comic world, much like the rock ‘n’ roll world, is fairly underrepresented in terms of women, particularly in the mainstream. We thought this was a great opportunity to celebrate comic writers and illustrators who happen to be women, and who, like Joan, are constantly being asked what it’s like to be ‘a woman…’ in their respective industries. We are excited to bring these amazing artists and writers together to celebrate this milestone anniversary.”

Joan Jett And The Blackhearts – 40×40: Bad Reputation / I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll is written and drawn by some of the most renowned female creators from around the world.

One of the artists involved is Tara McPherson, who said, “Joan Jett is the epitome of a rock ’n’ roll icon and a powerful force of a woman. When I was young and teaching myself how to play bass and starting bands, she was such an inspiration to me, and I know to so many other girls as well. She’s a fierce woman making no apologies, showing females they have a place in rock!”
