Priya Elan fragte Amanda Palmer, wie sie das Phänomen der Musikstars einschätzt, die Comics schreiben und erhielt eine skeptische Antwort.
Zitat:

Is the pairing up of the graphic novel and the album the future? Palmer isn’t so sure. “As artists are getting cleverer about capitalising on their releases, some will do some groundbreaking stuff with graphic novels. But for others, it won’t make sense. Sure you may see the pop star du jour putting one out but that doesn’t mean it’s this great new thing. I’d love to read what a brilliant mind like Robyn Hitchcock would do in the genre but, to be honest, I don’t know if I’d want to see the Beyoncé graphic novel.”
