Songs Illustrated: Run the Jewels’ “Don’t Get Captured” by Jason Latour
Note: This piece can be found in Paste Quarterly #2, which you can purchase here, along with its accompanying vinyl Paste sampler.
In Songs Illustrated, we enlist our favorite comic book artists and cartoonists to translate songs into sequential art. In this special print edition, Southern Bastards artist and Spider-Gwen scribe Jason Latour filters the thunderous beats and flowing rhymes of Run the Jewels’ “Don’t Get Captured” into an adrenalized escape from a familiar despot. Featuring cameos from Killer Mike and El-P, the comic captures a country in the throes of corruption, and its liberation with the help of pounds of kush to return to us victorious.
