The book is available for pre-order in multiple editions now, including a limited-edition oversized hardcover accompanied by a new compilation album from Sony Music, mirroring the story through the musician's own early output that came to define American rock and roll. A new graphic novel that captures the amazing story of one of the most celebrated performers of all time: Elvis Presley.

Elvis: The Graphic Novel will follow the King of Rock 'n' Roll's humble beginnings in Memphis as a young artist struggling to find his voice and break into the music industry. From the history-making Sun Studio to television sets across the nation, the trials and tribulations of Elvis Aaron Presley are illustrated in graphic detail by author Chris Miskiewicz (Grateful Dead: Origins, This Is Where We Fall) and Marvel Comics artist Michael Shelfer.

"Elvis is one of the most universally celebrated names in entertainment," says Z2 publisher, Josh Frankel. "His name transcends music itself as one of the larger-than-life figures in the history of pop culture.
