Scott Ian is Multi-Talented…
Scott Ian, founding member and guitarist for ANTRHAX is also a professional poker player, food connoisseur, and now author of comic books.
Ian has been brought on by D.C. Comics to write Lobo: Highway to Hell, a two-issue mini series that will star Czamian, Lobo. Lobo: Highway to Hell will feature the stunning artwork of industry legend Sam Kieth and is expected to kick off this November.
Quips Scott Ian,
“When DC approached me about writing a book for them I couldn’t get the words, ‘How about a black metal reboot of everyone’s favorite 1960’s rock band comic The Maniaks?’ out of my mouth fast enough. As security was escorting me from the building, I was able to get the guards’ hand off of my mouth long enough to yell ‘How about a hilariously horrifying all-out brutal tale of murder, mayhem and destruction unlike you have ever seen about the main man himself, Lobo?’ — Sold! And thus my lifelong dream as a comic book fan to be able to write a comic book has come true. And what a FRAGGIN’ BOOK IT IS MY FRIENDS. Lobo goes to Hell. Not soon enough.”
ANTHRAX‘ first studio album in six years, Worship Music, will be released this fall, and will feature new lead vocalist Dan Nelson, who joins Ian, Frank Bello/bass, Charlie Benante/drums, and Rob Caggiano/lead guitar. The band is currently wrapping up a European tour, and plan to support the new album with non-stop touring, that will include a summer stint with SLIPKNOT
