Vault Comics to Partner with Skullcandy

Vault Comics and Skullcandy, the audio company that specializes in headphones and earbuds, have established a partnership. Skullcandy will exclusively produce headphones and other audio accessories for Vault’s Headshell graphic novel line.

Headshell was announced in 2022 as a line of graphic novels from musicians and musical groups. The line will feature original stories inspired by the music and careers of Metallica, the Beach Boys, Def Leppard, Redman, and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.

The special, limited edition headphones will feature designs based on the books and will only be available for purchase with Headshell graphic novels.

“Skullcandy has always been an innovator in the space of audio culture and our team at Vault is excited to work with them on this,” Vault CEO Damian Wassel said. “As we work on our Headshell graphic novels, our overriding focus is creating meaningful connections between our partner artists and their fans, and this headphone partnership adds another dimension to how our readers can connect with the musicians they love, quite literally giving them a new way to listen to their favorites.”

“When we had the opportunity to talk with the team at Vault and to learn about what they’re building with Headshell, we knew we wanted to work together immediately,” Skullcandy CEO Brian Garofalow said. “The roster of artists Vault has assembled for their Headshell lineup is unrivaled, and Skullcandy is excited to join forces with Vault to deliver a unique, collectible, premium headphones for Headshell readers.”

The Headshell X Skullcandy partnership starts with limited edition copies of Dying Inside, the graphic novel from writer Hannah Klein, artist Lisa Sterle, and Wentz.
