Exclusive Update On Rock 'N' Roll Comics Graphic Novel Featuring SKID ROW, GUNS N' ROSES, METALLICA
September 14, 2009, 15 years ago
In February, 2010, Bluewater Productions will release its Hard Rock Heroes graphic novel featuring: GUNS N’ ROSES, METALLICA, AC/DC, BLACK SABBATH/OZZY OSBOURNE, MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, VAN HALEN, BLACK CROWES, MOTÖRHEAD, PANTERA, MEGADETH, SAMMY HAGAR, ANTHRAX, JOAN JETT/LITA FORD and the previously unpublished SKID ROW comic.
This collector's item features a selection of biographical Revolutionary Rock 'N' Roll Comics, originally issued in the late '80s and early '90s. Several of these comics resulted in lawsuits against the company, including the ones about BON JOVI and Mötley Crüe.
A threatened suit by Guns N' Roses brought the comics and the publisher, Todd Loren, a lot of publicity that translated into huge sales for the line. Per the press release from Bluewater, the comics regularly sold in the 50,000 range. The first release, the GNR comic, received multiple printings as a result of all the attention it received.
Retailing at $17.99, Hard Rock Heroes will feature brand new cover art that has yet to be unveiled, as well as an epilogue covering notable milestones that occured after the issues' original publishing, such as the release of the long delayed Guns N’ Roses album Chinese Democracy.
