What is Rocky Horror Show: Bride of Rocky Horror about?
Like its name suggests, Rocky Horror Show: Bride of Rocky Horror follows the story of the stage production and subsequent cult classic 1975 musical comedy horror. Set seven years after the original film, the 95-page graphic novel is a continuation of the iconic stage production and follows the story of Janet Weiss.
After embracing a life of decadence and debauchery, Weiss receives “a mysterious invitation” that “draws her back into the orbit of her ex-fiancé Brad Majors, a new mystery unfolds. Who is the enigmatic Bridget Von Frankenstein? What secrets is Brad hiding? And is it, once again, time for the Time Warp?”
“Rocky Horror is one of my favorite stories of all time,” said Magdalene Visaggio. “It was the safest queer art I had access to when I was young because my parents were both huge fans. So to get the chance to look beyond it and see how it could have played out once that fateful night ended was a dream come true. I tried to make something as personal and idiosyncratic as O’Brien’s original, riffing off the themes that stood out to me the same way O’Brien was riffing on his childhood influences. I think me and Noemi have made something really unique.”
