Orbit: Iron Maiden

By Michael Frizell

Iron Maiden did not explode into history by accident. They were built, reinforced, torn apart, and rebuilt under pressure. This graphic biography dives inside the engine of one of the most enduring bands in heavy music, tracing how obsession, discipline, and relentless standards carried them from cramped London pubs to crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands. As success grows monstrous, the band confronts the cost of scale: burnout, addiction, tragedy, backlash, and moments when the machine nearly collapses under its own weight. This is the story of how Iron Maiden survived everything that should have broken them.
