Neil Young's 'Greendale' gets a graphic novel

Rolling Stone reports the publication of a graphic novel based on Neil Young's highly-praised concept album and film, 'Greendale'. Expect crazy horses, rust and other Young-related anecdotes galore when we've got more information on the release, but for now the limited information available tells us that the novel closely follows the album's narrative, which described the changes to the lives of a "teenager and a burgeoning activist" following the visit of a mysterious stranger to their small town. Written by Joshua Dysart - the man behind Avril Lavigne's manga, 'Make 5 Wishes' - one commentator quipped: "Finally, an excuse to get these two towering beacons of story-song together for a record!" I'm not sure I can imagine anything worse. I mean, there's no right way of mixing 'Cinnamon Girl' and 'Girlfriend', is there?
