Blur Release Hong Kong-Inspired Comic Book

'Travel To Hong Kong With Blur'

With a 12-year break between records, it’s not surprising that UK rockers Blur had some time to brainstorm winning merchandise ideas in support of their latest release, The Magic Whip.

The band have released comic book Travel To Hong Kong With Blur, which is inspired by the new record and produced by comic artist KongKee.

The Magic Whip draws a lot of influence from Hong Kong, so it’s not surprising the band’s illustrated adventures are themed in such a way.

The 24-page effort follows Blur "as they undertake a traditional Manhua, futuristic adventure in Hong Kong".

The new addition to the merch stand follows on from their own flavour of ice cream in May.

The comic will be available to order from the band’s website this Friday, and you can catch them at Splendour In The Grass or one of their sideshows, which are proudly presented by The Music.
