This graphic novel serves as a cross-media experience alongside Yungblud&#8217;s single, &#8220;The Funeral,&#8221; released in March.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This new chapter builds off the gleefully irreverent, bitingly profane adventures of Yungblud and his super-powered coterie\u2014the titular Ritalin Club\u2014of Harmony, Scout, Zombie Joshua, Em, and Encore. After breaking free from the repressive constraints of Blackheart&#8217;s High School and\u00a0navigating the horrors of Quarry Bank University, Yungblud will face his greatest foe: mortality.<\/p>\n<p>Two years after saving the world from the Mangaverse,\u00a0Yungblud\u00a0died. No one knows how, only that it was enough to cause The Ritalin Club to disband and stop talking to each other. But as their old foe, The Spreading Darkness, has returned, more powerful than ever, it falls to Zombie Joshua to get the band back together.\u00a0<em>Every<strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/em>member. Living or dead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese powerful graphic novels serve as a mirror to my own journey as an artist through a medium I absolutely adore\u201d Yungblud explains. \u201cThe previous volumes chronicled my battles with authority, identity and self expression. The Funeral, like its musical counterpart, grapples with the idea of self acceptance, belonging, and finding peace with your own insecurities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cYungblud continues to be one of the most singular, confrontational voices in the pop culture landscape,\u201d Z2 Comics Publisher\u00a0<strong>Joshua Frankel<\/strong>\u00a0continues. \u201cAs soon as we launched\u00a0<em>Twisted Tales<\/em>, I knew that his story couldn\u2019t be contained in one volume. This is a glorious middle finger of genre fiction. We\u2019ll continue to publish them as long as there\u2019s a story to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yungblud\u2019s debut graphic novel,\u00a0<em>The Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club<\/em>, took the pop culture world by storm when it was published\u00a0 in 2019, selling out within days of its initial release. The artist\u2019s impact over the past few years\u2014not only as a musician, but as a cultural icon\u2014is undeniable. Sticking a middle finger up to senseless oppression, the tongue-in-cheek, genre-bending British rocker has been a driving force in a worldwide movement that encourages people to be distinctively themselves, and proud of it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Z2 Comics<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Yungblud<\/strong>\u00a0present\u00a0<strong><em>Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club 3: The Funeral<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>in both softcover and deluxe clamshell formats, including a hand-signed edition of the book, four prints,\u00a0and CD.

(aka Dominic Harrison) is a multi-instrumentalist who first picked up a guitar at age two and began writing his own songs at age 10. The 24-year-old artist is known for voicing what he feels are major concerns for his generation, using his music to unite and empower the youth of today. His is a voice that is unafraid to elevate the experiences of his generation: gentrification, assault, troubled upbringings and political corruption. Following the release of his self-titled EP and his full-length 2018 debut, 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0Century Liability, YUNGBLUD released his \u2018hope for the underrated youth\u2019 EP which debuted in the Top 10 for the UK Official Albums Chart. Harrison\u2019s words resonated with millions, earning him meteoric success. He has since accumulated 3.5 million Instagram followers, 4.5 million TikTok followers, and over 3 billion total Spotify streams. 2020 was the year YUNGBLUD released his UK Number One album \u2018weird!\u2019 which has since been certified Gold, exceeding his potential when he was crowned by MTV Push: Ones to Watch in 2020 and was shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2020 poll. He went on to win \u2018Best Music Video\u2019 at the NME Awards in Feb 2020 and Best Alternative artist at the 2021 MTV EMAs. Described as a coming-of-age album, \u2018weird!\u2019 features tracks \u201cgod save me, but don\u2019t drown me out\u201d, \u201cweird!\u201d, \u201cstrawberry lipstick\u201d and \u201cMars\u201d. The same year, he launched The YUNGBLUD Podcast on BBC Sounds, where he meets young music fans who are approaching turning points in their lives, to discuss topics and issues affecting young people today whether it be gender, sexuality, identity, money worries, friendships, style or mental health. Over the years, YUNGBLUD has performed to sold-out crowds in over 20 countries and played some of the world\u2019s biggest festivals, including Austin City Limits, Life Is Beautiful, Lollapalooza, Rock Am Ring, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and Vans Warped Tour.
