A chronicle of Todd Loren, the controversial publisher of unauthorized comic book biographies of rock stars. This documentary mixes animation and eerie home video with numerous interviews, including rock stars Alice Cooper and Mojo Nixon, comic book publishers Denis Kitchen and Gary Groth, and graphic artists Mary Fleener, Dennis Worden, and Robert Williams.

A life-long music fan, Todd Loren founded his comic book company in 1989 with the intention of creating histories of rock and roll performers that were like graphic novels. An enigmatic figure, he was a brilliant businessman and a First Amendment crusader, but he was also known for creating legions of enemies through his insufferable behavior.

Rock Â‘nÂ’ Roll Comics was largely derided by others in the comic book industry and hated by the music business for its Â“Unauthorized and Proud of ItÂ” motto and attitude, yet it was Loren who fought the good fight and won a landmark court case that established First Amendment protections for comic books.

At the height of his success Loren was fatally stabbed. His murder remains unsolved, though clues point to serial killer Andrew Cunanan.

The film is much more than the story of Todd LorenÂ’s upstart company or a mere murder mystery. It is a look at the strange interplay of those twin totems of teen rebellion, rock music and comic books. With original Rock Â‘nÂ’ Roll Comics art and music by Elvis Costello and Mojo Nixon, the film stands as a celebration of youthful exuberance and imagination.
