The Story of Rock 'N' Roll Comics - Official DVD Trailer 4/24/12!

Wild Eye Releasing is proud to present "The Story of Rock 'N' Roll Comics," from director Ilko Davidov. This documentary chronicles the life of Todd Loren: the controversial publisher of unauthorized, illustrated biographies of rock and roll performers.

It is often said that truth is stranger than fiction, and no phrase could more accurately describe Todd Loren's story. "The Story of Rock 'N' Roll Comics" takes a multifaceted look at rock music, comic books, and Loren's own achievements; including his landmark legal victory that established First Amendment protections for comic books and graphic novels.

Todd Loren was a brilliant businessman and a First Amendment crusader, but he was also known for creating legions of enemies through his insufferable actions. At the height of his success, Loren was fatally stabbed. His murder remains unsolved 13 years later, though clues point to Andrew Cunanan, the reported serial killer who has been linked to the 1997 slaying of fashion designer Gianni Versace.

With interviews from those who worked closest to Loren, along with commentary from rock stars like Alice Cooper and Mojo Nixon, and comic book publishers Denis Kitchen and Gary Groth. Music by Elvis Costello, Pegboy, and Mojo Nixon, "The Story of Rock 'N' Roll Comics" celebrates the accomplishments of this entrepreneur, and the phenomenon that was Rock 'N' Roll Comics.

'The Story of Rock 'N' Roll Comics' will be released on DVD on 4/24/12.
