YUNGBLUD Announces Release Date For New Graphic Novel 'Ritalin Club'

8th Annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards

"T-shirts, cool merch and postcards"… and now novels?

On Friday (May 17), YUNGBLUD revealed that he's co-written a new graphic novel called The Twisted Tales Of The Ritalin Club after teasing the new project's cover artwork on Twitter the day before. The "11 Minutes" singer teamed up with Z2 Comics for the graphic novel, set to be released just in time for Halloween on October 15.

Ritalin Club will be available in both a standard and deluxe edition. The deluxe edition comes in a slipcase and is limited to just 1,000 signed copies with three additional art prints included.

The full plot description for the graphic novel is revealed as:

"From the messed-up mind of music sensation YUNGBLUD comes the Twisted Tales of The Ritalin Club! All pupils attending Blackhearts Boarding School must be punctual, masked, and heavily medicated. The displaying of extrasensory powers or abilities is strictly forbidden. Any pupils encountering Yungblud or any member of his so-called "Ritalin Club" are to seek a teacher immediately. Failure to comply with any of the above rules will result in execution. DO NOT TRUST YUNGBLUD. DO NOT TRUST THE RITALIN CLUB. THEY MEAN YOU HARM."

As die-hard fans will know, Ritalin Club is a nod to YUNGBLUD's song "Anarchist" off his 2018 album, 21st Century Liability, where he sings the lines: "I'm employee of the month at a Ritalin club/Yeah, why do you think I'm so messed up?"

Preorders for the graphic novel are available here.
