Eminem dropped his newest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), on July 12, and it’s already a contender for No. 1 on the Billboard 200. While this era marks the end of the 51-year-old’s alter-ego, fans who are feeling particularly nostalgic can revisit the rapper’s beginnings in a new unofficial biographical comic book.

Most music books and musician memoirs are long-reads, but Orbit: Eminem brings an illustrated take on the “Not Afraid” rapper’s life, including his early years before becoming a legendary artist. With 26 pages to flip through, collectors can enjoy a snapshot of his life including arguably some of Eminem’s most pivotal moments, such as competing in the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles to getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
