30 July, Los Angeles:
Iconic heavy metal band Metallica will have a comic book biography, titled “Orbit: Metallica”.
The book, published by StormFront Media, will be written by Michael L Frizell, who also wrote biographical comics about Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Miley Cyrus among others, reported Entertainment Weekly.
“I’d written biographical comics about Miley Cyrus and Prince, and even crafted audio books about Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Michael Jackson, and Big Time Rush.
But never a group with such a rabid fan base as Metallica,” Frizell said.
The interior art comes from artist Jayfri Hashim, who as a Metallica fan, also helped research the book.
“Metallica’s formation marks the beginning of metal, breeding thrash metal which progresses to heavy metal during the glam rock era,” he said. PTI
