Explained simply
Scorpions are a German rock band formed in the 1960s, known internationally for songs including “Rock You Like a Hurricane”. Its 1984 music video used dramatic science-fiction imagery, which has since become part of the song’s identity.
The band’s first official graphic novel, “Scorpions: Hurricane”, draws on that imagery for a fictional space adventure. Written by Nathan Yocum and illustrated by Daniel Maine, it is being published by Sumerian Comics.
The book extends Scorpions’ work into comics, a different format from their music and videos. Its story follows the band touring through space before they are captured on a planet ruled by warriors.
