In 1996 Balance, along with the comic book version of Tim "The Ripper" Owens were featured in a promotional comic book proposal made to the Hard Rock band "judas Priest." The idea for the short Illustrated story was to introduce The Ripper, newly appointed front man of the band, to the bands long time fans. The Jugulator album was released but sadly did not include the short story or Balance in the Album's packaging. A Ripper vs Balance story may have sold a whole lot more abums, but that's just our opinion.
