Produced by Metal Depot, after two years of production, the 128-pager features Ashmedi of Melechesh as the protagonist is now available at the link below. Watch the teaser for the book now!

Ashmedi of Melechesh commented:

You know, when people record something – audio, and then you hear your own voice and at first it feels like it is not you. But everyone else listens to it and says ‘Yes, that sounds exactly like you.’ That’s kind of the same as seeing yourself as a drawing – a bit surreal. But to be drawn in a fictional graphic novel – in a different setting – the fantastical, mythological and mystical world of Sumerians, and the whole mythology that you hear in Melechesh songs, to be in it – it’s quite fun! First time I saw it, I said ‘This is really impressive!’

If as a kid, I knew I would be the protagonist of a graphic novel, I would think thats cool and tell all my friends about it!”
