The Story Of Rock 'n' Roll Comics will soon be available on DVD for the first-time! This documentary tells the unbelievable story of Todd Loren, San Diego-based owner of Revolutionary Comics, famous for publishing the wildly popular Rock 'N' Roll Comics series.

The unauthorized and often controversial comics featured biographies of music groups such as KISS, SEX PISTOLS and METALLICA. Loved by some (GENE SIMMONS, ALICE COOPER, Lemmy of MOTÖRHEAD) and threatened by others (Axl Rose (GUNS N' ROSES), SKID ROW, NKOTB), over 300 issues of Rock 'N' Roll comics were printed, embracing all music genres: rock, alternative, hip-hop, punk and pop and they quickly became instant collector's items. In a strange twist, Loren is found murdered in his condo in 1992, making people speculate that he may have the first victim of 'serial' killer Andrew Cunanan, leading to an absorbing mystery that still remains, unsolved today.
