From Graphic Policy: "Revolution summer comes alive again just in time for fall in the new and deeply personal story of life on and off stage. Take It Back: Life, Anxiety, and Gray Matter is released this week through DiWulf Publishing!

The story of one of Washington, DC’s most beloved bands comes to the page in a brand new graphic novel written by Gray Matter bassist and celebrated horror writer Steve Niles, illustrated by Brian Walsby, and lettered by Monica Richards. It is the story of friendship and the strength needed to overcome personal challenges amidst the background of a vibrant DC music scene.

Writer Steve Niles is best known for horror comics 30 Days of Night, The October Faction, Frankenstein Alive! Alive! as well as his notorious monster hunter detective, Cal McDonald. But before he found his voice on the page, Niles cut his creative teeth in the fertile and influential 1980s Washington DC punk rock scene, where he played bass for years with the legendary Dischord band, Gray Matter. This book not only delves into Steve’s formative years, providing a candid look into his personal struggles, it also serves as a heartfelt tribute to the original DIY culture that inspired the DC punk and hardcore scene.

Brian Walsby is best known for his eyecatching artwork on t-shirts and album covers, including work with 7 Seconds, Descendents, The Birthday Party, Melvins, Die Kruezen, Big Star as well as illustrations in the essential underground We Got Power magazine and more.

Take It Back: Life, Anxiety and Gray Matter is available now directly from the publisher for $20.00. Don’t miss this essential document of one of the world’s most influential music scenes; whose enduring influence can be felt in virtually every corner of culture."

From THE SPILL MAGAZINE: "The book is a digestible but detailed read, weighing in at over 400 pages, but also broken into over a hundred chapters. That makes it nicely fast-paced, in many ways reminiscent of the many songs Harper’s produced over his career, and very enjoyable. The big strength of the book, honestly, is Harper’s longevity – such are the many years he’s been on the earth and part of the industry, he’s able to lead us, via his own story, through the travails of growing up post-war, through the Swinging Sixties in London, through the punk explosion in the 70s, and everywhere in between. To be honest, some of the best stuff has nothing to do with music – his journey growing up is fascinating, and a tale of a period long ago. For once, the ‘preamble’ is as much a part of the story as the ‘hits’ are. The hits land too – his tales of the U.K. Subs, and his quite incredible recalling of all the members (a fine effort, given the number!) is entertaining. You’re hearing a man in love with making art, but perhaps more importantly, in love with punk rock.

Throughout, he’s a tremendous storyteller, and as is the strength of all good writers, you can hear his voice in every anecdote, and even picture yourself there with him. Some stories are hilarious, some are sad, some provoke anger, but all of them are compelling, honest, and real. You understand just how and why Harper is still around to tell the tales of this era, because he is a true survivor. Not just that, but he’s an old-school musician, believing in the cycle of write-release-tour that has kept him going for many decades."
