AWA Studios is releasing Black Tape in trade paperback this week. The book hits comic shops tomorrow, Wednesday, July 12. Readers can find it in bookstores on August 1.
Written by Dan Panosian, the comic features art from Dalibor Talajić, colors from Ive Svorcina, letters from Steve Wands, and a cover by Joe Quesada.
Read the synopsis from the publisher below:
Jack King was a rock’n’roll god who projected a stage persona on par with the devil. After Jack dies on stage, his widow, Cindy, grapples with grief and struggles to protect his legacy, unaware that she is being surrounded by dark forces that covet the master tapes to Jack’s final, unreleased album – a heavy metal masterpiece that just might open a doorway to hell.
