KING DIAMOND Partners With Z2 Comics For Graphic Novel Adaptation Of ‘Abigail’ Z2 Comics, the leading publisher of music-inspired graphic novels, reveals this fall’s jewel in the crown of the “king” of heavy metal himself: the first-ever comic written by the one and only King Diamond.
White Noise Studios scribe Dan Watters and October Faction artist Damien Worm team with The King himself for a chilling new version of the story of Miriam Natias and Jonathan LaFey and an inheritance far more terrifying than even the haunted mansion in which it’s discovered. To celebrate this unprecedented pairing, Z2 Comics will offer an exclusive brand new Abigail graphic novel picture disc edition of this incredible album, featuring the front cover of the graphic novel, and on the backside, you will find both the original Abigail cover and an alternate cover painting by artist Torbjörn Jörgensen, available only with the deluxe and super deluxe graphic novel package, exclusively through the Z2 website.

There will only ever be one Queen, Prince has exited this mortal coil and its unlikely music fans will ever agree on just who the Princess title belongs to (for me there is only one, hip hop artist Concetta Kirschner AKA Princess Superstar).
The lofty title of the King must belong to Kim Petersen AKA King Diamond! Forget about Elvis Presley, the heavy metal King is the one to admire. With the greatest respect to the revered sexagenarian, Petersen’s on-stage performance across the brand-new Blu-Ray/DVD, Songs for the Dead Live, is colossal.
