Megadeth and Heavy Metal Publish 35th Anniversary Graphic Novel, With All-Star Creators
It may be the greatest album title since Kirsty Macoll's Electric Landlady. But Megadeth's upcoming 35th anniversary ultimate greatest hits record Warheads On Foreheads will be accompanied by something brand new.
With Heavy Metal Magazine, they are putting out a 350-page graphic novel – okay, graphic anthology rather – featuring new comic book stories by some very familiar names, inspired by the songs on the album.
The graphic anthology is titled Death By Design and Bleeding Cool has the exclusive news of both the graphic novel – and who's working on it.
The project, carefully curated by Megadeth's co-founder Dave Mustaine and Heavy Metal Magazine aims to give both insight and understanding into the universe of Megadeth and its harrowed mascot, Vic Rattlehead. The creative teams include Ben Templesmith, Tim Seeley, Alex de Campi, Leah Moore, John Ostrander, Frazer Irving, Dan Fogler, Brian Wood, Joe Keatinge and more. And the cover above by John Gallagher.

Says Dave Mustaine: "I have always fantasized about Megadeth doing something this gloriously electrifying and gruesome. I hope everyone will enjoy the graphic novel as much as I enjoyed working with Heavy Metal to put it together for you."
Jeff Krelitz, CEO of Heavy Metal tells us "Since I was old enough to buy records, Megadeth has been one of my favorite bands, not only for the great storytelling in the music, but the world building imagery on the album covers. This opportunity to meld the two world together and tell stories inspired by their songs is a privilege that we are excited to present to the fans."
