sidman69 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My buddy Kevin shared some of his comic books he got from back in the old days for GNR. I think these pop up on ebay from time to time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I looked and thought, I should get a few of these. Then I thought, what the fuck do I need GnR comic books for? I already have enough things associated with the band that I am just collecting. My wife loves to remind me of that every time some little "thing" comes in the mail. They are cool and I still might buy some lol but for now I think I have talked myself out of it. Thanks for sharing @sidman69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My friend has the Guns n' Roses comic with the Terminator in it. GN'R and Arnold - my two favorite things ever. So damn awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I just watched the video and saw that Kevin asked that if there were other comics then people should add a comment about them. There are actually 7 other GNR comics from the 90s and I have all of them. There's a large (magazine size) version of the Revolutionary comics issues he shows in this video. There's also a Revolutionary Comic of Guns n Roses 91. There's also one that's called Guns N Roses Live, which covers some of the 91 shows.The last Revolutionary comic was called Greatest Hits which was just portions of the first issue, 91 and Live comics reprinted together. Two other companies also put out comics , one of them did a stand alone issue and the last company did a two issue series on them. I included the covers if Kevin or anyone else cares to check them out. Another fun fact that some might not know about these comics is Axl was very upset about that first Unauthorized comic that came out and how they were portrayed. I believe he even sued them to try to have it yanked from stores. The comic company even spoke about it themselves in later printings of the first issue. Guess he lost because they kept coming out with the later issues but the company did eventually go out of business. These comics were by NO means totally accurate or even illustrated that well but were fun when I originally bought them as a kid . I also have the Aerosmith, Metallica and The Doors double issue that was released when the Doors movie came out. Even though they were comic books they sure don't shy away from all these bands sex life, drug abuse, craziness etc. Edited January 10, 2018 by Nobody 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6lake sa66ath Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Anyone else got the graphic novel that came out a lot more recently? It covers right up to the reunion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yes I have that one also. Didn't bother listing it since it's a thicker graphic novel and didn't come out in the 90s, so I wasn't sure if Kevin would be interested. It is a pretty thorough retelling of the story though and even goes into the breakup, Velvet Revolver , Buckethead etc. Did you enjoy it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliehoodger Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have the first one if them on the motorcycles. It' great. SLASH is a rabid cokehead and Steven is like a dummy or something. I read it every now and then and the cameos and story are so goofily band it' great. Bought it down the jersey shore I tho k like over 15 years ago. Is it worth anything?
