Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian makes his comic book debut with today's release of Lobo: Highway to Hell, a two-part DC Comics mini-series he has written with illustrations by artist Sam Keith

The book marks the return of the anti-hero Lobo, an inter-planetary mercenary that rose to prominence as one of DC Comics' most popular characters in the 1990s, when he was developed as a parody of rival Marvel Comics' now iconic Wolverine.

Ian's take on the character stays true to form, promising Lobo to be "loud, loose, and ludicrously violent," as he battles Satan on a Highway to Hell lined with bleeding dolphins, demonic Chihuahuas, the world’s worst cruise ship, exploding moons, severed heads and more.
