Paper + Plastick releases Tony Sly issue of “Story/Song” comic book

Paper + Plastick Records has issued the latest issue in it’s “Story/Song” web comic, and it’s a good one.

If you’re not familiar, “Story/Song” launched earlier this year and, according to P+P, is “a project where comic book writers and artists listen to a song, then create a story around it.” This issue revolves around “Chasing Rainbows,” as penned and performed by the late, great Tony Sly (the track was performed as a No Use For A Name track in addition to a Sly solo track). Here’s a statement from Sly’s family:

In addition to being an inspirational poet and musician, Tony was a gentle soul, a kind and loving husband and father as well as best friend. While his daughters and I are pushing through this cruel journey to the best of our ability, it’s cool things done in his memory, such as this comic release, that put a smile on our faces and for that we are very thankful. Tony not only loved his family and friends but also loved his band, the scene and his fans with all of his heart.

Thank you for keeping our love’s spirit alive~

The actual music attached to this project is an acoustic cover of “Chasing Rainbows” performed by The Swellers’ Nick Diener. Click here to check out the issue.

Tony Sly passed away suddenly last August. Here’s our memorial piece.
