Next year, Anthrax will celebrate their 40th anniversary as a band. To commemorate their anniversary, they will release a graphic novel based on their 1987 album Among the Living. Among the Living will be available in a variety of formats: deluxe and super deluxe editions which include a special vinyl picture disc, an exclusive 'MadBalls' toy, art print and a gold record plaque.
Drummer Charlie Benante said about the project, “Doing a comic book has always been a huge goal for me. I’ve tried for years, but something always comes up and sidetracks me. I was ecstatic when Josh Bernstein brought the idea to us to do a graphic novel based on our album Among the Living. I felt that it was the perfect time and opportunity to fulfill that dream.”
