This title is one of a series of rock star fantasy-profiles from Rock-It Comics. The spotlight here is on British heavy metal veteran Ozzy Osbourne. Other Rock-It titles featured rockers Lita Ford, World Domination Enterprises, and Metallica.

The Ozzy story begins with him playing a gig at the old English Castle Donington. In the midst of the concert, a storm strikes, and lightning strikes Ozzy. He awakes in Limbo where a host of demons tempt him to give in to despair and drugs, while showing him snippets of his life. In truth, Ozzy did travel a rough road in life, growing up in a lower-class Birmingham neighborhood where he tangled with the police and worked a series of thankless jobs. Later, he hooked up with other musicians to form a progression of bands, culminating in Black Sabbath. That band gave him his reputation as a “devil rocker,” but it was not until his solo career that the (mis)label really stuck.
