I'm the Man is the fast-paced, humorous, and revealing memoir from
the man who cofounded Anthrax, the band that proved to the masses
that brutality and fun didn't have to be mutually exclusive.
Through various lineup shifts, label snafus, rock'n' roll mayhem,
and unforeseen circumstances galore, Scott Ian has approached life
and music with a smile, viewing the band with deadly seriousness
while recognizing the ridiculousness of the entertainment industry.
Always performing with abundant energy that revealed his passion
for his craft, Ian has never let the gravity of being a rock star
go to his shaven, goateed head. I'm the Man is a blistering hard
rock memoir, one that is astonishing in its candour and deftly told
by the man who's kept the institution of Anthrax alive for more
than thirty years.
Scott Ian, rhythm guitarist and cofounder of Anthrax and author of
I'm the Man, collects all of his craziest hard rock stories into
one balls-to-the-wall volume. Access All Areas has tales of humor,
excess, fun, debauchery, food, booze, and mayhem from Scott's many
years on the road as well as his encounters with celebrities like
Dimebag Darrell, Trent Reznor/NIN, Madonna, Lemmy Kilmister, John
Carpenter, Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Slayer, David Lee Roth, and
many more. In recent years, Scott Ian's "Speaking Words" club tours
have drawn a devoted crowd of metal fans who love a good rock
story. Ian has perfected his delivery, comic timing, and ability to
highlight where the ridiculous meets the sublime. Best of all, Ian
seems to lack the ability to be embarrassed, rendering Access All
Areas howlingly funny, self-deprecating, and every bit as brash and
brazen as one would expect from one of the original architects of
speed metal.
In 1987, Anthrax unleashed a heavy metal & pop culture
touchstone with the release of their historic Among the Living
album! Now Anthrax & Z2 invite you to explore the album like
never before with this original anthology graphic novel! Each song
on the album is given an original story by an amazing creative

For the most popular of his Scottish romances, published at the end
of 1817, Scott drew on the legends and historical anecdotes about
Rob Roy MacGregor he had collected in his youth. The famous outlaw
is only one of a series of vivid characters who cast their spell of
the novel's hero, Frank Osbaldistone, on his journey through the
wild northern territories of the new United Kingdom. Banished from
his father's house, falling hopelessly in love with the spirited
Diana Vernon, Frank becomes involved in he conspiracy surrounding
the disastrous Jacobite rising of 1715. His adventures take him to
`MacGregor's country', across the Highland Line, where he finds
cruelty, heartbreak, and some unlikely friends. By turns thrilling
and comic, Rob Roy contains Scott's most sophisticated treatment of
the Scottish Highlands as an imaginary space where the modern and
the primitive come together. Newly edited from the `Magnum Opus'
text of 1830, this edition includes full explanatory notes and a
critical introduction exploring the originality and complexity of
Scott's achievement. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford

More than a century after the Norman Conquest, England remains a
colony of foreign warlords. The dissolute Prince John plots to
seize his brother's crown, his barons terrorize the country, and
the mysterious outlaw Robin Hood haunts the ancient greenwood. The
secret return of King Richard and the disinherited Saxon knight,
Ivanhoe, heralds the start of a splendid and tumultuous romance,
featuring the tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche, the siege of
Torquilstone, and the clash of wills between the wicked Templar
Bois-Guilbert and the sublime Jewess Rebecca. In Ivanhoe Scott
fashioned an imperial myth of national cultural identity that has
shaped the popular imagination ever since its first appearance at
the end of 1819. The most famous of Scottish novelists drew on the
conventions of Gothic fiction, including its risky sexual and
racial themes, to explore the violent origins and limits of English
nationality. This edition uses the 1830 Magnum Opus text, corrected
against the Interleaved Set, and incorporates readings from Scott's
manuscript. The introduction examines the originality and cultural
importance of Ivanhoe, and draws on current work by historians and
cultural critics. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
