With "The Beatles: Rock Band" hitting shelves Tuesday, September 9, everyone's been talking about the Fab Four these days. That means it's the perfect time to bring you some exclusive news involving John, Paul, George and Ringo?as well as a host of other music icons.

Bluewater Productions, who previously published "Tribute: Michael Jackson, King of Pop," has revealed to Splash Page that the early-'90s biography comic book series "Rock 'N Roll Comics" will be collected in a new line of graphic novels published by Bluewater. As part of the partnership with the publishers of "Rock 'N Roll Comics," Revolutionary Comics, the line will be released as 10 bi-monthly graphic novels (150-300 pages), each focusing on a particular band, musical era or style.

The first volume, "Hard Rock Heroes," will arrive in December and feature bios of Guns N? Roses, Metallica, AC/DC, Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Poison, Van Halen, Black Crowes, Motorhead, Pantera, Megadeth, Sammy Hagar, Anthrax, Joan Jett/Lita Ford and Skid Row. The second volume will focus on The Beatles, and Bluewater has offered Splash Page readers the first, exclusive look at the cover to the graphic novel.

 : ok:

the old GN'R comic worth anything..?I have a few of them laying around..Still in excellent condition..They would make a great autograph.

Not sure if this will make the comic worth more but they also say

?In some cases we will add an epilogue for groups that experienced notable milestones after the issues original publishing,? Bluewater president Darren Davis said. ?Like Pink Floyd?s reunion concert at Live8, or the passing of the Who?s John Entwistle or even the release of the long delayed Guns N? Roses album ?Chinese Democracy.??

@hbk altho you always rock, you better give the source.  ;) let's observe etiquette, not the fucking chutzpah of some classic rock magazine.

Guns N' Roses originals to return ... in comic book form

What do you get for the Guns N' Roses fan that has everything?

Bluewater Productions just might have the answer.

Beginning in December, Bluewater Productions, in conjunction with the original creators of Revolutionary Comics, will bring Rock N Roll Comics back to life. The first volume, Hard Rock Heroes, will feature Guns N' Roses, along with numerous other acts such as Metallica, AC/DC, Motley Crue and Van Halen.

Guns N' Roses was featured in the very first edition of Rock N Roll Comics in the summer of 1989. The band was on the cover two more times, in 1991 with the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator, and again in early 1992 with Axl Rose and Slash under the title, "Tales From The Tour."

Debuting with Guns N' Roses on the cover was a fitting start for Rock N Roll Comics. It would become the GnR equivalent of the comic book industry, at least in terms of the law.

Over the course of Rock N Roll Comics' five-year run, it's publisher, Revolutionary Comics, found itself in legal troubles with some of the bands and artists it profiled in its unauthorized biographies. According to reports at the time, Guns N' Roses was one of the bands threatening legal action. Eventually, after New Kids on the Block actually did sue, the courts decided that Rock N Roll Comics was protected under the First Amendment as illustrated articles.

According to Bluewater, these reissues will be packaged into graphic novels ranging from 150-300 pages. And, in some cases, they will be updated with more recent events such as the release of Guns N' Roses' long-awaited album, Chinese Democracy.
