A new line of graphic novels is being released by Vault Comics, including some bonafide legends.

Vault Comics have announced a new line of graphic novels under the name Headshell, focusing on stories written by artists and inspired by artists’ careers and stories.

Mainly Metallica and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz. They are joined by Def Leppard, The Beach Boys and Redman as well.

It’s going to be launching with Pete’s story ‘Dying Inside’, which has been made alongside Hannah Klein, and Lisa Sterle.

Pete had this to say about it:

“Creating a new graphic novel with Vault and one of my favorite writers, Hannah Klein, has been an insane experience–in the best possible way. Between her perspective, honesty, and super dark sense of humor and Vault’s creative support throughout the entire process, I’m excited to share it with the world soon.”

Here’s a look at some of the concept art that’s been made by Lisa:
