Wow! I had no idea these existed. They look great. Also thanks Reswati for the link. I'll check them out. If I ever see these around in comic book stores of flea markets I'll be sure to buy them.

Insert " Twilight Zone " theme here ----

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.
