Musician and activist Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave fame has turned his incredibly talented mind to the comic book page where he is telling the story of Orchid.

According to the Dark Horse Comics solicitation, Orchid is “a tale about a teenaged prostitute that who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.” The rest of the solicitation goes on to build a little bit more of the dystopian future world in which Orchid takes place. It sounds like a really cool concept, and if anybody should be telling this story, Morello is that person.

And if you want to see some of the interior artwork by Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic artist Scott Hepburn, check out the trailer for the comic here below.

Orchid #1 is scheduled for an October 12, 2011 release from Dark Horse, and is retailing for $1 (and only $.80 right now at TFAW), so there’s no reason not to pick this up.
