timothy5151 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Just found this quite silly Robert cartoon. Wow! I had no idea these existed. They look great. Also thanks Reswati for the link.

BonzoLikeDrumer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cool stuff indeed, I don't remember these but, in the early 80's I had found 3 different rock band based comic book's, one about Kiss one on Jimmie Hendrix and a another about Rush. I don't know what became of them but they where neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glicine Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 One thing I wonder, did the comic authors need permission from Led Zeppelin to publish those comics? I think there should be copyright and portraiture right involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Page Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 I dont think that they needed to their permission. It's just a comicbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likecats Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I can offer a little more information. Revolutionary Comics was based in San Diego and their initial series of unauthorized biographies was called Rock 'n' Roll Comics. I bought several of them off the stands, they lasted about 50 issues, and #13 was devoted to Led Zeppelin (published 1990). They later did some separate miniseries about the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. The five-issue Led Zeppelin Experience was published in 1992. Revolutionary also published Carnal Comics, which were biographies of female porn stars. Another company, Personality Comics in New York, produced unauthorized biographies as well and published a Led Zeppelin series around 1992. Each issue focused on a different member of the band: #1 Robert Plant, #2 Jimmy Page, #3 John Bonham, and #4 John Paul Jones. I don't think those were mentioned here yet.
