(Radio.com) Metallica have been immortalized in comic form with StormFront Media's latest biography, Orbit: Metallica. David Frizell, a rock artist famous for his work with Avenged Sevenfold, jumped at the chance to illustrate the cover for the comic book.

'It's Metallica! What rock artist wouldn't jump at the chance to draw them? I've followed them their entire career. They are the most influential metal band ever." According to the artist, much care went into the concept for the cover. 'I spoke with my brother, brainstorming ideas until I came up with this. I wanted the cover to be iconic and to look like it could be their next album cover." Sample pages can be seen below.

Formerly known as Bluewater Comics, Stormfront's unique approach is designed to capture the attention of "reluctant readers," who might not otherwise read biographical material. "It's my hope that these books teach readers about the people behind the hype," says the company's President Darren G. Davis. Read more and see some images from the comic here.
