Francis & The Vegas Tramps (2023). Comic book/graphic novel by Brian Kelly.
Francis & The Vegas Tramps is a genre-bending, black & white 72 page graphic novel that merges the worlds of noir, space-age adventure, rock & roll, and Elvis.
This is a rock & roll story of the future. Set in a retro-futuristic universe, the story unfolds with a shocking murder that thrusts the band's former members into a journey of discovery and investigation.
In the wake of the untimely demise of one of them, the former members of Francis & The Vegas Tramps find themselves plunged into a world of shock and disbelief. The band, which had once burned bright and electrified audiences with their music, disbanded two decades ago, each member following their own diverging paths. Now, their lives intersect once more as they grapple with the loss of their former bandmate. Who would want to kill one of them? Molly, the bassist, found success as a solo musician, Ray, the loyal drummer, turned radio DJ, and Francis, the band's frontman, turned Elvis impersonator. The Vegas Tramps are forced to confront their own pasts, buried grievances, and unfulfilled dreams.
With a mixture of nostalgia and determination, the Vegas Tramps must revisit old haunts, reconnect with figures from the past, and dive deep into the memories and relationships that shaped their lives.
Advance review
"Our website is centered around a young audience, yes, we're fine with doing Deadpool, Logan, and stuff like that, I just believe that this comic is a bit too much for the site as it is a family friendly site.
The drugs, sex, drink, and close to SA scenes in the comic is too much to be on our site."
