Phonogram is a comic book written by Kieron Gillen, drawn by Jamie McKelvie, and published by Image Comics. The comic traces the misadventures of British magicians who channel the power of music to achieve their own goals in life, although the music often comes back to haunt them in one way or another. Gillen describes Phonogram as a metaphor for his years in the British music journalism industry.
Gillen and McKelvie published their creator-owned comic in three limited series, released in 2006-07, 2008-10, and 2015-16, respectively. The first volume, the six-issue Rue Britannia, was Gillen's serialized comics debut. Music website Pitchfork called Phonogram "the ultimate music-obsessive comic."
