Explore the impact of memory, fame, and second chances in this compelling look at memory, identity, and the choices that define us.
A reclusive rock star receives a mysterious package that forces him to face both his past and a resistance movement that represents all of the ideals he had once stood for. A wild exploration of stardom and its price from Babydaddy of the Scissor Sisters in his comics writing debut!
I’m absolutely thrilled to see Nostalgia finally hitting print, thanks to Mad Cave,” said Scott Hoffman. “This isn’t just a book—it’s a journey through music and memory, and a celebration of how our creations can transform lives and even change the world. Every detail—from the art and lettering to the vibrant colors and design—has surpassed my wildest expectations. I can’t wait for readers to experience it!”
“Nostalgia is such an impressive package,” said Mad Cave Studios Editor, Sarah Brunstad. “It’s gorgeous, trippy art paired with a look at stardom that really digs into human desire and longing. Scott Hoffman fits right into the world of comics, and we’re so excited for his writing debut here, and he couldn’t have found a better partner in Danijel.”
“Scott’s storytelling is as bold and unforgettable as Danijel’s stunning artwork,” said Stephanie Phillips of the Scissor Sisters. “Together, they create a world that lingers in your mind long after the final page.”
For fans of Daytripper by Fábio Moon & Gabriel Bá and the lush, dreamlike storytelling of Velvet Goldmine, Nostalgia is a visually stunning, emotionally charged exploration of fame, regret, and redemption. Hitting shelves on June 18, 2025 this gripping graphic novel is now available for preorder.
