Black Eyed Peas frontman, will.i.am, is set to pen a brand new graphic novel with Marvel Entertainment.
Dubbed, Black Eyed Peas Present: Masters of the Sun – The Zombie Chronicles, the novel will not be contributing to Marvel’s superhero roster. Instead it boasts zombies and a hip-hop theme.
The singer has written the novel, while Benjamin Jackendoff and Damion Scott have designed the artwork, which will focus on a character based in LA that is under attack by zombies and aliens.
will.i.am said: “The Black Eyed Peas and I have begun a new journey,” reports Billboard.
"We’ve been working on this original story for years and partnering with Marvel to bring this book to life is more than a dream come true."
The upcoming novel is slated for release in July this year.
