Read Details from the publisher:
Continuing the celebration of rock, the graphic novel Hysteria follows Foz, the frontwoman of indie band Darkside, after she inherits her father’s estate and discovers it comes with a half-remembered guitar from her childhood. The guitar speaks to her, promising fame and success. Soon, it delivers. But when Darkside’s equipment is stolen at a massive music venue, just before they’re set to take the stage with Def Leppard, Foz goes on the warpath to get it back. A knuckle-dusting rampage ensues, and the guitar’s true history is revealed.
Hysteria features never-before-heard music from Darkside, recorded in collaboration with Phil Collen, as it tells the story of the world’s most dangerous guitar! Additional details on the release of the Darkside EP will be announced later on!!
Hysteria #0 is set to release in October, go to your local comic book store to secure your copy today!
