Thanks to the track “DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshakes” from the British outfit’s latest slab of wax, Art Brut vs. Satan, Argos and the band were recently given an extensive tour of the coveted DC Comics headquarters in New York City.

The trip was arranged by Under the Radar, the magazine where Argos has regularly professed his love for DC Comics in his column.

During the tour, Argos met with DC Comics’ senior vice-president/executive editor Dan Didio, and was given a whole bunch of free swag, not to mention the shot to live out more than few childhood fantasies. To get a glimpse of the trip, you can check out this photo essay here.

"Launching DEAD@17: AFTERBIRTH at Lone Star Comics feels right as they've been supporters of mine since I started," Howard said. "The mini-series acts as a new beginning for the series, yet also ties in together threads long time fans have been following for a long time. Nara's new role in The Zodiac is going to really shake things up and bring out some more skeletons from the series' closet."

Fans should keep in mind, while Diamond Comics Distributors is completely sold out, MUPPET ROBIN HOOD #1 first printing may still be found at a direct market retailer near you.
