Metallica

PhotobucketPhotobucket
And comics for all

I bought this Metallica comic 20 years ago in a comic shop in Swansea. It was published by Revolutionary/RockRoll comics and basically tells the story of the band up until the And Justice For All album. Its not particularly terrible for Metallica fans but there's nothing in it we didn't already now about the band. Dave Mustaine's sacking, Cliff Burton's tragic death, the big stories are all obviously covered.
Do not expect any colour however. This comic is strictly a black and white affair. And the likenesses aren't wonderful either. The artist has managed to make Ozzy Osbourne look like a fat butcher with only one tattoo. He looks more like an extra from Coronation Street.
There are a few other comedy strips after the Metallica story but nothing that stands out.
Saying all this, I am glad ive got it because if nothing else its a cool addition to my metal collection. One for fans of the music only im afraid.
