It's always interesting when K-pop and art collide – remember the BtoB vocalist's controversial logo competition? Now the rapper Lisa from Blackpink is expanding the concept of album art – and the concept of a concept album, with a foray into comics.

Lisa's Alter Ego: The Official Comic will explore the themes and multiple personas introduced on her upcoming debut album, also called Alter Ego. The 56-page graphic novel is being released on her own publishing imprint Lalisa Comics in collaboration with Zero Zero Entertainment, which specialises in media monetisation and artist merchandise collaborations.
