Considering he was famously knocked the fuck out by a Scottsdale band after an Arizona gig, you might expect Glenn Danzig to avoid Arizona. Nope. The ex-Misfit will appear at Atomic Comics on Country Club Drive in Mesa Saturday, signing his new book from 2 to 3 p.m.

Danzig's new book, by the way, is called Hidden Lyrics of the Left Hand and has illustrations by Simon Bisley, a British artist with a long curriculum vitae. The book pairs those drawings with Danzig's lyrics from his self-titled project, Samhain, and The Misfits.

If the cover (below) is any indication, this should be, ahem, quite a book. North Side Kings, the band that popped Glenn in Tuba City for the above video, has been on hiatus, so hopefully everything will go smoothly during load-out.
