Pop sensation Chappell Roan inspires a comic love story

The remarkable success of Chappell Roan happened almost instantly. The pop newcomer quickly topped the charts and entered the conversations of music enthusiasts worldwide. Her debut album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," was released in 2023, reaching peak popularity as early as 2024. Chappell has already completed a sold-out world tour and performed at some of the largest festivals globally. She is poised to capitalize on the upcoming season, having been announced as one of the headliners at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, alongside Charli xcx and Sabrina Carpenter.

Chappell incorporates synth influences and retro-pop elements into her music, along with aspects of queer culture. Her work ranges from the imagery of a drag queen to clear and straightforward messages in her songs that advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals and emphasize their visibility. Her latest single, "Good Luck, Babe," tells the story of a secret relationship between her and another woman, which had to end due to societal expectations.

Could the story from "Good Luck, Babe" become the basis for a tangible love story? Absolutely! Illustrator Inés accepted the challenge and adapted the song into a comic. She used words from Chappell Roan's song and paired them with her own illustrations. The action unfolds in an unspecified fantasy world set in indeterminately distant times. A story set several centuries ago gains an added dimension, further deepening its romantic appeal.
