Vault Comics, the ones known for a vast array of horror, sci-fi and fantasy comics, will be announcing their brand new Graphic Novel imprint “Headshell” at South by Southwest next week. The imprint will be releasing graphic novels about iconic recording artists like Def Leppard, Metalllica, The Beach Boys, Redman, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz – and that’s just to start.
While that’s exciting and all that, the full details of this imprint are largely shrouded in secrecy. This Tuesday March 14th, however, Vault Publisher and CEO Damian Wassel will appear alongside Collen and Kajabi President and Chief Product Officer (CPO), Sean Kim, to talk about the future of the Headshell lineup and plans to leverage technology to power unique fan connections.

Kajabi’s Sean Kim sits down with legendary guitarist Phil Collen of Def Leppard and Vault Comics’ CEO Damian Wassel to discuss how they are cutting through the noise in the market, building original stories for a new generation through graphic novels, and leveraging technology to power unique fan connections.
