The third comic in the series I’m editing for Red Bull Music Academy is now online. The series is timed to RBMA’s annual, city-centric festival, which this year takes place all over Tokyo. It’s by writer Zack Soto (Study Group Comics) and illustrator Connor Willumsen (*Treasure Island*). The comic, [“When Damo Met Can,”](http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/magazine/when-damo-met-can-comic) presents the period when Damo Suzuki was recruited as the lead singer of the German rock band Can. (In related news, the 33 1/3 series book on Can’s *Tago Mago*, written by Alan Warner, is being published this month. The timing is a nice coincidence.) Willumsen lends incredible detail, period feel, and psychedelic immersion to Soto’s story, which draws from band anecdotes and drops in some sly references.
The original, English-language version of the comic is at [redbullmusicacademy.com](http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/magazine/when-damo-met-can-comic), and the Japanese translation, with lettering by Haruhisa Nakata (“The Tree of Maüreca,”Levius), is at [redbullmusicacademy.jp](http://www.redbullmusicacademy.jp/features/damo-suzuki-comic/).
The first two comics in the series were on [MF Doom and DJ Krush](https://disquiet.com/2014/11/03/red-bull-music-academy-tokyo-2014-comics-manga/).
