Puscifer have launched their own comic book series called “Tales From The Pusciverse.” The first issue is available HERE. A description can be read below:
“Puscifer expands its universe with the launch of the band’s first comic book series, ‘Tales From The Pusciverse.’ Issue #1 centers on Bellendia Black, a character first seen in the band’s “Pendulum” video.
Written by Maynard James Keenan, the debut issue features artwork by Marlin Shoop (‘Captain Action,’ ‘G.I. Joe,’ ‘Unprepped’) and Andy Belanger (‘Kill Shakespeare,’ ‘Southern Cross,’ ‘Friday the 13th’), with lettering by Jack Morelli (‘Afterlife with Archie,’ ‘Peter Parker Annual,’ Marvel Comics).”
Maynard James Keenan commented:
“I remember how excited I was as an elementary school kid when Wolverine was first introduced in one of the Hulk issues. Called neighborhood dibs immediately (long before cosplay was a named thing). Seeing Bellendia Black in print brings back all of those joyful school kid memories.”
Marlin Shoop added:
“Puscifer’s leap into comics with Maynard Keenan isn’t merch or novelty – it’s an extension of their long-running conversation with the absurd. The book hums with the same tension as the music: satire wrapped in menace, humor sharpened into philosophy. I’m glad I could be a part of that and bring it to their vision.”
