ANTHRAX Guitarist to Write Two-Issue 'Lobo' Comic

July 9, 2009

Vaneta Rogers of Newsarama.com reports that ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian is writing a two-issue Lobo comic for DC that is being drawn by artist Sam Kieth for release this fall.

Ian confirmed the comic in an interview with The Quietus.com, saying that writing a comic book character comes more naturally to him than writing songs.

"I have a bit of that going on with the comic book character Lobo. I find it much easier to write comic books than lyrics, actually, because it's a natural dialogue," Ian said. "Writing song lyrics is not natural, but over the years, I know what I need to know to get it done. I find it quite easy to capture a character and use my own personality and humor."
