Mikey Way has joined forces with writer Shaun Simon<\/strong> and artist Toby Cypress<\/strong> to create a graphic novel to accompany the second full length LP from his project Electric Century.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both are scheduled for release in September.<\/p>\n

This is what the story of the graphic novel, and subsequently the album, will look like:<\/p>\n

Dr. Evers sends Johnny to his \u201chappy place\u201d: 1980\u2019s Atlantic City, where he relives his childhood on the boardwalk, hardly noticing shadowy specters all around.

In the real world, his girlfriend\u2019s search for him leads her to Dr. Evers, who offers her a free session, and Johnny meets her on a beach by the boardwalk\u2014her own \u201chappy place.\u201d Johnny brings her to his boardwalk, only to discover its true nature.  Johnny must find a way to save himself and his girlfriend, and escape the Electric Century.”<\/em><\/p>\n
