Synopsis "The Jam 1982"

This richly illustrated oral history account of The Jam's rollercoaster final year, led principally by the voice of Jam drummer Rick Buckler, contains a number of previously unseen images and takes in everything from the recording and release of final studio album The Gift and the rigours of the road to the announcement of the split, the final tours, The Tube, and more.In addition to Buckler's memories of this final year, The Jam 1982 also brings together testimonies from Gary Crowley, producer Peter Wilson, A&R manager Dennis Munday, photographer Neil 'Twink' Tinning, Eddie Piller, Paolo Hewitt, Mat Osman, Belle Stars singer Jennie Matthias ('The Bitterest Pill'), touring musicians Jamie Telford and Steve Nichol and others, to tell the tale of a single, fateful year: the year The Jam, for better or worse, went out at the very top of their game.

Rich Buckler was a prolific artist and comic book writer, mainly recognized for his work in the superhero and science fiction genres. Throughout his career, he collaborated with major publishers like Marvel Comics and DC Comics, leaving a significant mark on the industry. Among his most notable works are his involvement in The Fantastic Four (1974) and his work on The Tomb of Dracula. He was the creator of Deathlok the Demolisher, an innovative cybernetic character introduced in 1974, which became one of the first representations of the concept of a cyborg superhero.

Buckler also contributed to the series Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man, where he demonstrated his ability to capture the emotion and action of the arachnid universe. His detailed and dynamic style established him as one of the most versatile artists of his generation, capable of adapting to different characters and genres.
