Once the snarling frontman of thrash metal legends Puke Hammer, Curtis Paul is now more dad than demon, trading mosh pits for parent-teacher meetings. But when a chance to reunite the band arises, Curtis finds himself torn between diapers and distortion pedals, family dinners and filthy riffs. Told with sharp humor and raw heart, Death Metal Duck is a time-hopping, 70-page graphic novel that dives deep into the chaos of parenthood, the passion of playing music, and the messiness of second chances. Featuring real music by a local Alberta band reimagined as Puke Hammer's discography, this book is a raucous, reverent ode to creativity, comics, and the enduring power of loud guitars. For fans of slice-of-life stories with a metal edge-- this one's for you.
