LIFE OF AGONY Bassist Creates 'Wire Hangers' Horror/Conspiracy Comic Series

February 4, 2009

LIFE OF AGONY bassist Alan Robert has written and created a new horror/conspiracy comic series, Wire Hangers. The series, which features pencils by Mike Lilly (Vampirella, Batman: Detective Comics),inks and covers by comic fan favorite Nelson (Marvel Masterpieces, Adventures of Superman),and colors by Juan Fernandez (Ant Unleashed),will hit shelves this year through a publisher to be announced in the coming months.

To view the animated teaser, go to this location. The teaser was animated by Alan Robert using his artwork, with sound FX created by Josh Silver (TYPE O NEGATIVE) and voice-over by Neil Jason.

Commented Robert: "I came up with the concept for Wire Hangers about 15 years ago and have been refining the story ever since. Writing bits and pieces of it on tour, over the years. Sketching character designs for it on the back of lyric sheets and things like that. I'm so excited to be working with such great comic book artists on this and finally bringing it to life! It's a long time coming and I have such a great feeling about it, seems like the timing is really right. Especially, with graphic novel stories taking over the box office and themes getting darker and darker, Wire Hangers fits right in."

Alan Robert, Mike Lilly and Nelson will be on hand this weekend (Feb. 6-8) at the New York ComicCon.

LIFE OF AGONY will tour Europe this summer. Meanwhile, Alan's SPOILER NYC project will enter the studio in April to begin recording the follow-up to the band's "Grease Fire in Hell's Kitchen" debut (SOS Records/I Scream Records).
