D's not trying to be a rock
god. He's just a lonely teenager with an active imagination playing songs to his
lost love beyond the grave. But when that music reaches farther than expected,
he unkowingly becomes the anonymous Metal Legend known only as
DOOMBOY!
Eisner-nominated DOOMBOY tells
the story of an ordinary, lonely teenager with an active imagination and a love
of metal music. When his girlfriend passes away suddenly, he decides to
broadcast songs to her beyond the grave, playing his heart out under the secret
name “Doomboy”. What he doesn't realize, however, is that those
broadcasts are picked up all across town... and beyond. Soon the music of
Doomboy becomes legendary, and his innocent private life quickly turns inside
out.
