The Story of Rock-N-Roll Comics

In this special post i wanted to plug the new documentary available on dvd, The Story of Rock-N-Roll Comics, this was the first comic book company i worked for a few years back and they specialized in unauthorized biographies, I did quite a few covers for them over the years and at the time, they were hugely popular and cutting edge.

 

The Story Of Rock N Roll Comics

The Story of Rock N Roll Comics charts the short and controversial life of publisher Todd Loren, whose scandalous series of unauthorized comic book biographies of rock stars enraged and sometimes charmed his subjects, provoked numerous lawsuit threats from the likes of Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses and Skid Row, and eventually led to a landmark First Amendment case, all before he was savagely murdered in 1992.

This documentary mixes animation and eerie home video of Todd Loren along with interviews and commentary that reflect the range of opinions regarding his cultural legacy - Including first hand accounts from many of the artists and writers who were inspired and exploited by Loren, all peppered with insights from both the Rock & Roll and comic book communities from such luminaries as Alice Cooper, Gary Groth, Ian Shirley, Mojo Nixon and more.
