HW: Comic book expose'

[Le Monsieur Damon]

Well, it seems that the address for The Antigravity Room didn't work, so
we won't be having our wonderful little expose' about Hawkwind and the
sci-fi/comicbook connection.  Oh well.

It seems that your show The Antigravity Room is under the impression that
putting rock bands into comic book form is an original idea to
advertise.  I thought I would inform you that the band Hawkwind started
doing this over 20 years ago.  They were a subject of a series of campy
sci-fi books by Michael Moorcock and ??? Butterworth, the first book of
which was called Time of the Hawklords.  Later on, Hawkwind also appeared
in their own comic book, presumably under the same name, though I'm not
that sure.

Perhaps you can do an "expose" or some other report on the music of
Hawkwind and its influence on sci-fi -- or vice versa.  I'm sure there
will be others who e-mail you concerning Hawkwind and would be happy to
provide you with the proper resources of information about this awesome
band and it's sci-fi connections.

The best source I can think of off the top of my head is at the following
e-mail address:
GrifMus at aol.com

Griffin Music is the U.S. distributor for all sorts of Hawkwind albums
and other merchandise, and the (a?) director of Griffin - the guy who
manages the e-mail address - is Robert Godwin.

Have fun!
