Pantera's legendary sixth studio album Vulgar Display Of Power has just turned 30. To celebrate the band and Z2 Comics are taking things to "a new level" with a Vulgar Display of Power graphic novel.
Speaking to the release of the novel, vocalist Phil Anselmo said
"We’re really happy and excited to have this graphic novel come out for the fans, and to be a part of something special, as it pertains to its artists and creators"
The Vulgar Display Of Power graphic novel features contributions from a who's who of the metal, art and literary world with musicians Eric Peterson (Testament), Keith Buckley (ex-Every Time I Die), Alan Robert (Life of Agony), Burton C. Bell (ex-Fear Factory, Ascension of the Watchers) joining Steve Niles (30 Days Of Night), Tony Lee (Beartooth: The Journey Below) and illustrators Brian Ewing, Ryan J. Downey, Erik Rodriguez, Ryan Kelly, Steve Chanks, Kevin Mellon, John Pearson, Danijel Zezelj and esteemed tattoo artist Paul Booth in helping to bring Vulgar Display Of Power to life.
Paul Booth shared his thoughts on the project revealing he sees it as a landmark moment for himself to be involved in a collaboration with Pantera of this scale and in this medium.
"I’m not sure I can even express what a tremendous honor it has been to work on this project for Pantera. The first music tour I ever went out on, Pantera headlined. That was back in ‘94 with Sepultura and Biohazard. To this day, I still compare every tour I’ve been on to that one as it really was the most special for me. This project has been an awesome experience and I greatly thank everyone involved!"
