WHAT ARE ROCK 'N ROLL COMICS?
The term "comic" is at best loose. It could include anything from single panel cartoon strips to comic book floppies to book length graphic literature. "Rock 'n Roll" is even more vague, with as many definitions as there are fans of the genre. All that is to say that it's fair game to define Rock 'n Roll Comics however one wants! All such defnitions are fair and valid. Here is how Nix defines the term:
ROCK 'N ROLL COMICS:
1. Cartoons, comic books, and graphic literature ABOUT rock and roll music, musicians, and the music community. (Y'know fans, graphic designers, retailers, et. al.)
2. Cartoons, comic books, and graphic literature BY rock and roll music, musicians, and the music community. (Y'know fans, graphic designers, retailers, et. al.)
