In 2009, composer Andy Hentz and cartoonist Alec Longstreth began collaborating on a rock opera adaptation of Longstreth's graphic novel Basewood, inspired by the music of Harry and the Potters and Weezer's lost album, Songs From the Black Hole. They wrote dozens of songs over the next five years, and when the Basewood Kickstarter went well over its funding goal, the decision was made to use these additional funds to produce the album and to get it professionally mixed and mastered.

The end result is an 18-track album (plus four bonus B-Sides!) with a full band and one vocalist for each of the five main characters of Basewood. This musical retelling of Basewood goes deeper into the story and gives you insights into each of the characters' thoughts, feelings and motivations.

Phase 7 #020 Deluxe Edition:

It included an audio CD of Songs From the Basewood (plus a download code for an additional digital copy of the album) as well as all of the lyrics for Songs From the Basewood.

If this wasn't enough, there ws also 44 pages of concept drawings, character designs and other materials from the making of the Basewood graphic novel. Although all physical copies of Phase 7 #020 have sold out, you can read the entire issue online for free.
