AT LASTTHE TRUE STORY OF THE VIRAL HOAX SO INSANE IT COULD ONLY BE TOLD AS A COMIC BOOK!From the mind of multi-hyphenate writer-comedian-actor-musician Dave Hill (Tasteful Nudes) and breakout artist Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place) comes the SHOCKINGLY TRUE, TERRIFYINGLY HILARIOUS, AND ONLY MODESTLY EXAGGERATED tale of how one stand-up comedian forged a secret online identity as Americas first true black metal icon . . . Two decades ago, Dave Hill and his first band set out to rock their high school auditorium in a fury of heavy metal hellfire. They failed miserably. Years later, Dave has made a new life for himself as a rising star in the New York comedy scenea career where getting laughed at on stage is the entire point and not just a tragic consequence. But when Daves metal ambitions are reawakened by the er self-serious satanic genre of Norwegian black metal, Dave creates a ridiculously hyperbolic alter ego and a band to match that, together, reignite the spark of his forgotten rock n roll fantasy. But when Daves internet-fueled rumors of Witch Tainta metal band so extreme that you must remove all sharp objects from the immediate area when their music is playedspreads all the way to Europe, his story will spiral dangerously out of control as Norways most extreme black metal butchers come to reap their revenge . . . and put everything and everyone Dave holds dear in the crosshairs (of their axes, which, truth be told, dont actually have crosshairs, but hey, its a metaphor).Collects Dark Regards #14.
