Hip-Hop History, Comic-Book Style
An item similar to the one linked below showed up recently in the Coudal Partners Fresh Signals feed. I’m pointing you toward a different issue, however, wherein one may revisit the story of how the late Malcolm McLaren (for whom I wrote a not-so-flattering obituary a few years back) became entranced by hip-hop in New York in 1981. 
Of course, if you have the time, you can read the whole series, and, if you have the money, you can pre-order the first volume—due out in October from Fantagraphics. Lastly, MTVHive has posted an interview with Ed Piskor, the creator of the comics.
