Vault Comics has announced a partnership with Skullcandy, a Utah-based lifestyle audio company, for a new line of headphones that will incorporate design elements from the Headshell graphic novels, and will only be available with purchase of a Headshell graphic novel.
The line of graphic novels is dubbed Headshell. Graphic novels on the way will come from recording artists including Metallica, Def Leppard, The Beach Boys, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Redman, and more.
“Skullcandy has always been an innovator in the space of audio culture and our team at Vault is excited to work with them on this,” said Vault CEO, Damian Wassel. “As we work on our Headshell graphic novels, our overriding focus is creating meaningful connections between our partner artists and their fans, and this headphone partnership adds another dimension to how our readers can connect with the musicians they love, quite literally giving them a new way to listen to their favorites.”
The Headshell X Skullcandy partnership will kick off with a special, limited edition headphone only available with purchase of the special limited edition copies of Dying Inside, the upcoming graphic novel from writer Hannah Klein, artist Lisa Sterle, and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz.
