Once I got past the beginning, it was very good! Still don't know why the author/comic chose to add the graphic scenes though.

That's how he saw it. Just like we did.

None of this hiding in "TRIGGERED" warnings.

can relate except where he stopped following his album releases...

Even this was accurate in my life with Prince. Gave up on him after Emancipation.
Still bought his music when it was released but only listened to it once, as it was enough. But always saw him live when he was in town.
And luckly I did, otherwise I would never have seen his P&M tour. I woulda never forgiven myself if I hadn't.

That was really sweet. Granted, I didn't grow up listening to Prince and I'm yet to be in the life phase of the writer, but I think his depiction of his own connection to his music and the way he chose to portray it in relating to his family and on the last panel was really touching.

.

I didn't see nothing "explicit", sorry. If anything, it looks like he drew Prince sleeping on the floor. My father had a heart attack once, more than 10 years ago, and he stood with his mouth opened and his eyeballs had turned completely white. Now that would have been a horrible image of someone dead.

That´s what I personally liked the most about this story....the personal touch, the honesty and vulnerability, the courage to share his highly personal story with the reader. That´s true art.

And no, I did not find the story too explicit either. As a matter of fact, I think it was all done with a lot of respect for Prince and the pictures with the elevator didn´t bother me at all.

I think Walt Dohrn did a great job.

By the way, I wasn´t even aware that he´s in the film business and not really a comic artist. I think the story here is more important than the style of drawing. It´s interesting to see how Prince´s death has affected so many people in such a similiar way.
