Bassist-turned-junkie
Jonny Wells is addicted to his past, but the only way to get there is through his music. This April,
Insight Comics is publishing
Skip to the End, a riveting graphic novel created as an allegory to the history of the legendary band
Nirvana.
Skip to the End tells
Jonny’s story as he tries to cope with his bandmate and best friend
Kirk’s suicide. Twenty years later,
Jonny struggles with heroin addiction, lost in the songs they created and desperate to relive the past—until one day he discovers he can. With the aid of a mysterious guitar,
Jonny begins to make trips back in time, searching for the roots of
Kirk’s unraveling. At Nar-Anon meetings and in conversations with his sponsor
Emily, he starts to cope with the events that led to
Kirk’s death. But by the time
Jonny realizes that his visits can’t change the present, he might be too addicted to stop.
Skip to the End explores music’s transportive property, while sharing a story of friendship, combating addiction, and suicide awareness.
