Published Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:30:09 -0500

Record Store Day is April 22nd. Inspired by Free Comic Book Day, it sees record stores sell especially limited editions of certain records.

And this year one of them is a comic book! Gerard Way has been giving more details about the Young Animal record released for the event.

Gerard Way: "Into The Cave We Wander" / "Pogi's Cavern"; 12" Picture Disc in Clear Vinyl Sleeve. Limited to 5,000.
Two new recordings from Gerard Way have been written to go with the comic book series CAVE CARSON HAS A CYBERNETIC EYE from DC's Young Animal pop-up imprint. The 12" picture disc comes in a clear vinyl sleeve and includes the following: a 32-page comic featuring an all-new three-page story by Gerard Way and Michael Allred; previews of four DC's Young Animal comics—DOOM PATROL, SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL, CAVE CARSON HAS A CYBERNETIC EYE and MOTHER PANIC; and an 11"x 17" poster featuring characters from each of the series, drawn by Nick Derington. The songs were written and recorded with Ray Toro and produced by Doug McKean, Ray Toro and Gerard Way.

Look at how rad this is! A picture disc, a mix-tape comic, a poster. Definitely one of the coolest things I've been involved with. Available 4/22/17 I'll be giving you all a closer look at the artists involved with this over the next few days– stay tuned! Press release: WARNER BROS.

A peek inside, and a look at the artists in the Young Animal Record Store Day release: The picture disc itself was created by DCYA designer Paul Rentler @prentler using Michael Avon Oeming's @oeming art from the series as well as older Cave Carson artwork. The line art for the cover of the Young Animal Mixtape comic is by Doom Patrol series artists and partner of mine @nickderington who also came up with the title of the comic. The coloring was executed by Doom Patrol series colorist Tamra Bonvillain. The Mixtape Comic includes an original 3 page story by @allredmd on line art, Laura Allred on colors, Carlos M. Mangual on lettering, myself writing, and edited by Jamie Rich and Molly Mahan. The rest of the book features the Young Animal creative team's work on their respective titles and are provided as a sampler. You get a look at all core-4 Young Animal books. And everyone did an amazing job—I love our team! #comics #art #dcyounganimal #dccomics #rsd
