When Prince burst onto the pop scene in 1978, he put Minneapolis on the music map. Many up-and-coming bands followed the trail that he blazed. MPLS Sound is the story of one such group—Starchild, led by a young woman inspired by Prince to start her own revolution. Through her journey, we see from within exactly how His Royal Badness transformed the entire Minneapolis scene.

Is this fiction or nonfiction? It looks like a comic book.
I can usually Google up anything but I'm finding nothing Prince-related when I search for "Starchild" or "Star Child"? This is written by two men and illustrated by a woman, none of whom seem to be related to MPLS.

But if I wanted to delve into the MPLS sound, I'd start with Andrea Swensson's deep dive into the scene, beginning way back: Got to be Something Here: The Rise of the Minneapolis Sound. ).
