Elvis Must Die

In 2000, Bold Faced Comics launched Elvis Must Die, a four-issue miniseries that imagines the King of Rock 'n' Roll as an immortal force who must be stopped by a secret society of assassins. Written by John Layman and drawn by Nick Stakal, the series blends dark humor with supernatural action, presenting Elvis as a sinister, otherworldly figure rather than a beloved icon. Its cult status endures as a quirky, high-concept thriller that redefines celebrity mythology through a punk-rock lens.
