Rise of the Ogre

Product Information

The band has shot to popularity in the UK following their debut album, Gorillaz , and have been named "World's Most Successful Virtual Band" according to the Guiness Book of Records. It is, absurdly, the fictional autobiography of a virtual band, with fabulous graphic artwork and comical interviews.

The dust wrapper is in very good condition, bright, with two teeny closed tears and slight creasing to the top to the front. I just recently got into the band gorillaz and was so excited to learn more about the lore and the story and everything I was quite disappointed when I found that the hardcover book is so expensive. An audiobook of Rise of the Ogre was released in four parts; making it the first audiobook in the world to be released in a singles format.

numerous illustrations; inscribed by: Damon, Hewlett and Cass; pale grey pictorial d/j with black title to front and spine.

Featuring brand new art from and designed by Jamie Hewlett, this is the full story of Murdoc, 2-D, Noodle and Russel Hobbs for the first time. While I know most of the "real" background info on them, I much rather prefer to believe them as real people. My only wish is that they would release the book with added info, since Plastic Beach came out afterwards. It contains previously unknown secrets of the band, such as future plans of the movie, new and rare art by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett, the "low down" on Kong Studios, their headquarters, and the story of the truth behind the " El Mañana" video. At the front of the book, there is a ‘Demon Disclaimer’ stating the information is not all true, ‘especially the stuff Murdoc says’.As a long time fan of Gorillaz, I enjoy watching, listening, and reading anything they come up with.

Even if you haven't paid much attention to Gorillaz (or if you have no idea what, exactly, they are), I still strongly recommend getting this book. Featuring brand new art from and designed by Jamie Hewlett, this is the full story of Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russel Hobbs for the first time.Thank you for preserving this excellent book - I have many great memories of checking this out from the library in high school over and over again and using it to piece together the lore behind a band I loved. The original idea for the book was to be a compilation of all press interviews with Gorillaz from phases one and two.
