Def Leppard<\/strong> guitarist Phil Collen<\/strong> is stepping into the world of graphic novels.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>, the rock star has co-authored the new graphic novel\u00a0<\/span>Hysteria,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>which will be released in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

The release, which\u00a0shares a name with\u00a0Def Leppard’s multi-Platinum 1987 album, is descried as \u201ca horror story dealing with the dark side of rock stardom\u201d and follows the frontwoman of an indie band, Darkside,\u00a0who inherits a demonic guitar from her father\u2019s estate that promises her fame and success. Def Leppard makes an appearance in <\/span>Hysteria<\/span><\/em>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Darkside is set to open for them in concert.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Poured out on the pages of this graphic novel is a story (Phil) couldn\u2019t tell you in a song that takes you to places Def Leppard have never gone before with their music,\u201d says Damian Wassel<\/strong>, CEO of Vault Comics, the graphic novel’s publisher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collen co-wrote <\/span>Hysteria<\/span><\/em> with Eliot Rahal<\/strong>, writer of\u00a0graphic novel\u00a0<\/span>Bleed Them Dry. <\/span><\/em>\u201cIt reminded me of songwriting with someone you really like,”\u00a0Collen tells\u00a0<\/span>The Hollywood Reporter. “<\/span><\/em>It was very much like that, bouncing ideas, and he would run with it.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cWhen you hit on something, it runs away, and you\u2019re part of the slipstream. It was very inspiring, I gotta say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An exact release date has not been announced, but Hysteria<\/em> is expected to\u00a0come out in retail and deluxe editions, with an accompanying merchandise line, including a guitar custom made with Collen’s input.<\/p>\n
