Death Metal Duck Featured by CTV News Calgary
A new release from Black Panel Press is gaining attention following its debut at the Calgary Comics and Entertainment Expo. Death Metal Duck, written by Justin Heggs and illustrated by Cam Hayden, explores aging, identity, and reconnecting with the past—through the story of a former metal frontman who happens to be a duck.
“It’s a simple story—no big crazy high-concept plot twists or anything—but it allowed me to say a lot of things I wanted to say.” — Justin Heggs, CTV News Calgary
More than a decade in the making, the book follows Curtis Paul, a middle-aged musician grappling with the life he left behind and the creative spark he’s trying to rediscover. The project marks a major milestone for both creators and has already drawn strong interest from readers at Calgary Expo.
