Judas Priest Announce The ‘Screaming For Vengeance’ Graphic Novel

Z2 Comics proudly announces that Judas Priest will team with the rapidly growing entertainment brand for a graphic novel based on their highest selling album of all time ‘Screaming For Vengeance’. It will be the bands first-ever graphic novel and it’s to be released in 2022, in time for the anniversary of this album.

Judas Priest have teamed up with writers Rantz Hoseley (Comic Book Tattoo, the Heroin Diaries), Neil Kleid (Savor) and artist Christopher Mitten (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) to create this graphic novel.

“I cannot overstate what an inspiration Judas Priest has been to me, personally” said Rantz Hoseley before adding “I was already a fan of the band when ‘Screaming for Vengeance’ was released, but no one was ready for the impact it had. That incredible cover art? Those songs? That album became my daily soundtrack and creative fuel, to the point where I wore the cassette out in my car. To be able to contribute to a project inspired by these songs that meant so much to me? Well, that is an honor and a responsibility, I take very seriously.”

To further celebrate the creative legacy of this monumental album and landmark anniversary, the graphic novel includes an extensive interview with original cover artist Doug Johnson in which he discusses the process of creating the award-winning album cover design, and the origin of the metallic bird of prey, now known as “The Hellion”.

‘Judas Priest:Screaming For Vengeance’ will be released in both softcover and hardcover formats in July 2022, with special limited deluxe and super deluxe versions featuring an exclusive anniversary vinyl LP, prints and more available to pre-order now exclusively through the Z2 website https://z2comics.com/products/judas-priest-screaming-for-vengeance-graphic-novel-vinyl-lp-action-figure
