In conclusion, Pavlos Sidiropoulos

The Prince of Greek rock comes alive again through the Ninth Art. Words to describe the form of Pavlos Sidiropoulos are unnecessary. One of the most important representatives of the Greek rock music scene, with his timeless work playing on loop even today. A biography that only the art of comics could convey with such vibrancy, through the pen of Konstantinos Skavenitis and the dreamlike script of Ilias Katirtzigiannoglou. (From the publisher) The dead do not speak. They only leave echoes. This is the story of Pavlos who remained behind, the sum of what he wrote, composed, and lived. Of Pavlos, the often contradictory memories of those who experienced him. What followed his biological end, the posthumous recognition, the hypocritical reversals of both the record industry itself and the politicians and the press, is a sorrowful story within its truth. The only honest ones in this story remain his people and the audience. "Uncle Poulikos" could not describe it better: "A junkie in life. Greek Jim Morrison after death. A regular tomb raider." This comic is the depiction of a man and an era that defined it musically like few others. It follows the life and work of the "Prince" of Greek rock, documenting the ongoing conflict between creation and self-destruction, the light and the darkness of a rogue intellectual.
