Actually I'm shocked that there isn't any real intersection between hip-hop and comics.

I wanted to do one, but all I got was:

WEST COAST AVENGERS REBORN!

by Snoop Dogg, Adam Sandler and Fred Durst.

then I thought, nah.

Jordan, the only true intersection of hip-hop & comics (aside from any True Story stuff) is some awful Wu-Tang affiliated Image book from a while back that featured the Wu-Tang as KNIGHTS fighting DEMONS and OTHER STUFF. Gong to the xtreme.

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 18 November 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Then there's the Kiss comics, I guess. They're hip-hop as fuck.

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

What about DJ Green Lantern and Bruce Wayyne from the Midi Mafia?

Huk-L, Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

And of course, MARK MILLAR'S WANTED feat. MARSHALL MATHERS as THE REAL SLIM SHADY!

(x-post)

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess 'intersection' was a bad word choice - there's obviously tons of influence from comics on hip-hop (just look at Wu-Tang's aliases, MF Doom, etc.), I just think it's too bad that it doesn't seem to go the other way.

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

In the very, very interesting A Galaxy Not So Far Away: Writers and Artists on Twenty-five Years of Star Wars, Harry Allen talks about Star Wars's effect on hip hop in an essay called "Planet Rock" and a lot of it can be pretty easily scooted into a comics discussion.
It's actually kinda scary that more hip hop heads haven't become comics creators, maybe due to the corporate conservatism of DC & Marvel?

Huk-L, Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Philip Bond should be given his own imprint where he collaborates with various rappers & producers on comics.

NEW WEST COAST AVENGERS #1
Project: Red Light (Part 1 of 12)

Ron Zimmerman / Kevin Smith (W) (based loosely on an idea by jel)
Bob Hall (P)
Al Milgrom (I)

Hollywood's BURNING UP! NOW GIMME SOME ACTION! A super-secret group of actors & performers joins forces when an upstart PRODUCTION COMPANY run by a certain CRIMSON-HEADED CRIMINAL threatens to RUIN their hedonistic pimptacular LIFESTYLE by greenlighting a series of LENI RIEFENSTAHL remakes!

STRANGERS IN YANKEE HOTEL GN
Jeff Tweedy (W)
T3rry M00r3 (A)

What is the sound of two TREMENDOUSLY overrated ARTISTS COLLIDING? That's right true posers, faux-LESBIANS sticking to their GUNS in an epic STAND-OFF against the MAN.

Fuck that shit, give it up for BREAK THE CHAIN from the Marvel Music imprint! It came with a cassette that had KRS-One telling you when to turn the page!

!!!

When did that stuff come out?

David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 21 November 2004 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

1993 or so? After the Alice Cooper one. Pulse-pounding art by Kyle Baker!
