Anthrax’s ‘Among the Living’ getting graphic novel adaptation
There’s already an Among The Living action figure, and now the classic Anthrax album is getting its own graphic novel as well. It’s narrated by their mascot, the “Not Man,” and each song on the album gets its own short story. Scott Ian and Frank Bello each wrote one, and others are by comedian Brian Posehn, Gerard and Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance, Rick Remender and Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Rob Zombie, and comic writers Grant Morrison and Brian Azzarello. See the full list of personnel below.
The graphic novel is due out May 12 via Z2, and you can see the cover art below, and two pages from Rob Zombie’s “Imitation of Life” story, illustrated by Erik Rodriguez and Steve Chanks.
