Exclusive Preview: Courtney Taylor-Taylor's 'One Model Nation'

Originally intended as a screenplay, One Model Nation became the basis for a graphic novel when Taylor-Taylor showed the text to Mike Allred, the comic book artist who featured the Dandy Warhols in Red Rocket 7, his graphic novel about rock & roll history. When Allred's schedule filled up, he introduced the singer to comics artist Jim Rugg. "I had seen Street Angel, which is one of the best-looking books ever, and then Afrodisiac had a super-extreme Seventies thing," says Taylor-Taylor. It was a good fit.
