The four-issue miniseries will debut this summer, featuring contributions from the band Scissor Sisters, Kieron Gillen, Chuck BB, Kim Krizan and others.
"BOOM! is all about delivering fantastic work that's not found anywhere else," said editor Ian Brill. "The comic industry needs an outlet for the type of stories found in CBGB, and we're happy to be the ones working hard to bring these stories to smart, discriminating readers."
CBGB's Robert Williams added: "The club was as much about those in the mosh pit as it was the bands that played there. The narrative in this series celebrates both."
The club first opened its doors in 1973 and went on to become a forum for punk and new wave acts. It later spawned a fashion store and a radio station, which are still in operation today.
CBGB #1 will be released in July under the BOOM! Town imprint. A hardcover compiling all four issues will arrive in November.
