«Rapid» is Bernard Ashley's young-adult comic, published by A & C Black in paperback (80 pages, in English).
During a music class, classmates compose a catchy song, «Don't get me wrong», that Jonny Malone can't get out of his head. But what really obsesses him is Win Zotwana, one of the performers, whom he has known since childhood and falls in love with in an instant. A young romance told in panels.
Part of A & C Black's Graffix collection, published in 1999.
Suitable for young readers; blends teenage romance with the visual language of comics.
