Missoula, MT (May 1, 2024): Vault Comics <\/strong>is thrilled to announce the first graphic novel from the Headshell<\/strong> imprint, Dying Inside<\/strong><\/em>, by Fall Out Boy\u2019s Pete Wentz<\/strong>, Hannah Klein<\/strong> (Everything\u2019s Fine<\/em>), and Lisa Sterl<\/strong>e (The Modern Witch Tarot<\/em>) will kick off promotions with a collection of limited deluxe editions and an exclusive merch line, which are available for pre-order now at Vault Comics<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, catch a sneak preview of Dying Inside<\/em> during this year\u2019s Free Comic Book Day celebration on Saturday, May 4th with an exclusive selection available to participating local comic shops. Dying Inside<\/em> will be available September 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo psyched to be releasing Dying Inside<\/em>. Hannah is one of my favorite contemporary writers, kind of if Larry David and Elliott Smith had a kid, and Lisa\u2018s an excellent addition to help bring this to life with her artistry. Can\u2019t wait for it to be out in the world,” said Pete Wentz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-writer Hannah Klein stated, \u201cWhen the idea sparked for Dying Inside<\/em>, I had no idea what form it would end up taking. The fact that it started my foray into the world of graphic novels is one of the most exciting and surprising series of events and I\u2019m so incredibly grateful. I\u2019ve been working with Pete on various creative endeavors throughout the years, and I feel like our separate styles and shared vision really came through on this project especially with the absolutely singular and incredible art by Lisa Sterle, and the steady and supportive hand of Vault to guide the way. I feel so lucky that our vision was met with open arms and a million \u2018yesses\u2019 to create the exact project we were hoping to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is Ash\u2019s big finale. And by finale, she means exiting the stage permanently. Ash is a sixteen-year-old girl with more angst than Ian Curtis and Elliott Smith combined (her two idols). She\u2019s apathetic and therefore believes death is the easiest route to relief. But nothing is more embarrassing than a lame death. Unfortunately, her meticulous plans are all ruined when the beautiful knife she buys off a webstore turns out to be charmed with a protection spell. Now, Ash has to track down the witch who transformed her clocking out attempt into the worst gift imaginable: immortality. Turns out, the witch responsible is another sixteen-year-old-girl named (get this) Liv. The two vow to undo the charm together and fight for Ash\u2019s death\u2026even as things get increasingly entangled with a strange new antidepressant called Somnia and her mom\u2019s gross boyfriend, Greg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Vault Comics CCO and editor-in-chief Adrian Wassel, \u201cSometimes, a perfect team comes together, and they share in the joy of making a story so much that it reminds me in a visceral way why I love editing. That\u2019s been my experience with Hannah Klein, Lisa Sterle, and Pete Wentz as we created Dying Inside<\/em>. We make comic books because we care about the stories and the medium, from literal rockstar Pete Wentz down to lil\u2019 \u2018ol editor me. Being in the room with two of my favorite creators, Hannah and Lisa, while a whole other side of artistry poured out of Pete has been one of the greatest joys of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Wassel further added, \u201cDaisy Grenade even recorded original music to debut in the book at the concert our main characters attend. We can honestly say we took comic books and music and wove them together.\u201d Dying Inside<\/em> is a musically immersive experience, featuring original lyrics and poetry from Pete Wentz, an integrated playlist available now on Spotify, and never-before-heard music from Daisy Grenade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The editions of Dying Inside <\/em>include three alternate colorways with cover art by Lisa Sterle, including glitter, glow-in-the-dark, and \u201cdark mode\u201d covers, as well as collector\u2019s editions with variant coverwrap art. Kicking off the merch collection for Headshell, featured Dying Inside<\/em> art will be available on custom Skullcandy headphones, graphic t-shirts, hoodies, beanies, and print canvas tote bags, as well as enameled pins, stickers, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 10% discount will be available for the first 24 hours starting May 1, 2024, with the first 10 customers receiving a free set of custom Skullcandy headphones and the first 100 customers receiving a free gift or upgrade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah added, \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to have made a story that is so female forward about topics that are typically difficult to talk about. I hope this book finds who it\u2019s meant to find \u2014 even if it\u2019s just a single teenage girl, I will feel so proud of the accomplishment of helping others feel seen in this space. This has been overwhelmingly joyful to work on and I hope to continue this story in the future!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for artist Lisa Sterle, Dying Inside<\/em> offered an opportunity that felt like fate. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been destined to draw this book. The art of Dying Inside<\/em> is truly a reflection of all the things I am passionate about. I hope reading this book feels like listening to a heartbreaking song on a sunny day. I hope it feels like blue shadows in a dim bedroom, staring at the ceiling fan. I hope it feels like screaming your favorite lyrics back at your favorite band. I hope it feels like texting your best friend in the middle of the night because your thoughts won\u2019t let you sleep.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wassel concluded, \u201c[Dying Inside<\/em>] is a testament to our love of storytelling, across mediums, across artforms, and a first look at the future we\u2019re building at Vault and Headshell.\u201d A darkly funny tale of life, music, and overcoming loneliness, Dying Inside<\/em> is available for pre-order now and will be available in stores and online September 17, 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
