This spring, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars come in from the cold to reveal their greatest accomplishment of all: protecting the world at all costs as covert government agents, as the band presents a MÖTLEY CRÜE graphic novel. Uniting with Z2 Comics, the premier publisher of music-based graphic novels, “Mötley Crüe’s The Dirt: Declassified” unearths the classified exploits of these rock pioneers as they navigated an international web of moles, sleepers, spooks, and plants. Building from the New York Times bestselling book and subsequent Netflix movie “The Dirt”, Leah Moore (“Morrison Hotel”) documents the quartet’s twisting journey with interior art from John K. Snyder III (“Suicide Squad”, “Grendel”) and J.M. Beroy (“Deadman”, “Star Trek”). Armitano (“Batman Eternal”) joins with dossier art alongside cover artist Dan Panosian (“Canary”, “Slots”).

“MÖTLEY CRÜE remains the one group whose live show in the ’80s felt truly dangerous. Now that I know the truth about the band, it’s obvious why,” Z2 senior editor Rantz Hoseley says. “We’re proud to have gained the trust of these live wires to tell the secrets they’ve been forced to cover up for decades… we guarantee you aren’t ready for the madness and mayhem in this graphic novel.“
