They failed miserably. Years later, Dave has made a new life for himself as a rising star in the New York comedy scene--a career where getting laughed at on stage is the entire point and not just a tragic consequence. But when Dave's metal ambitions are reawakened by the über self-serious \"satanic\" genre of Norwegian black metal, Dave creates a ridiculously hyperbolic alter ego and a band to match that, together, reignite the spark of his forgotten rock 'n' roll fantasy. But when Dave's internet-fueled rumors of Witch Taint--a metal band \"so extreme that you must remove all sharp objects from the immediate area\" when their music is played--spreads all the way to Europe, his story will spiral dangerously out of control as Norway's most extreme black metal butchers come to reap their revenge . . . and put everything and everyone Dave holds dear in the crosshairs (of their axes, which, truth be told, don't actually have crosshairs, but hey, it's a metaphor). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollects \u003ci\u003eDark Regards\u003c\/i\u003e #1-4.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dave Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oni Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.1\" H x 6.6\" L x 0.4\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9798894880242\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53159654326571,"sku":"9798894880242","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9798894880242.jpg?v=1775539788","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/dark-regards-dave-hill-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
