On the fiftieth anniversary of the the Doors' iconic album Morrison Hotel, the surviving members of the band, Robby Krieger and John Densmore, are working on a graphic novel exploration of that album's songs, themes, and context.
According to the publisher Z2, the graphic novel "will feature some of the lore that led to their status as the architects of counterculture, influencing artists, poets, and outsiders for generations to come, set against the backdrop of the close of the free spirit of the 1960s into the tumultuous 1970s. A decade in which women, African Americans, Native Americans, gays, lesbians, and other marginalized people continued their fight for equality and many Americans joined the protest against the ongoing war in Vietnam."
The graphic novel anthology, likewise titled Morrison Hotel, will be written by Leah Moore, with art by Marguerite Savauge, Tony Parker, Christopher Mitten, Vasilis Lolos, and more.
