Road Crew – Behind Every Legendary Rock Band Is A Legendary Road Crew


Waveriders, you gotta’ check this out! Road Crew is a daily comic strip that is published at www.roadcrewcomic.com and it has to be one of the most entertaining and humorous comics that we’ve read in a long while. The comic depicts the life of Jim Soundman, Matt Mason (Lighting Engineer), and Eric Newman (Jim’s Slave) as they ride the road of rock ‘n roll in front of the fictional band, Broken Watch, getting themselves into some of the most off beat situations one could imagine possible. What separates this strip from any and every music based comic strip is the characters, which are so well developed that they have to be based on people that creator Tommie Kelly either knows or has run into. Yes, we actually care about these characters and look forward to seeing what happens to them the following day! On top of that, the art has a professional quality to it, especially as the story goes on for a bit. We like seeing the work improve . . . it tells us that Tommie cares about his craft and isn’t in this simply for the payoff.

Go back through the archives and read this bad boy from the beginning, and then get back to us when you run into Jimmy Page and tell me that the scenario isn’t just hilarious! Warning: There are panels that show a woman’s tata’s and there is a bit of profanity used in the dialogue. What did you expect? It’s rock ‘n roll! It’s supposed to get a rise out of you!

Don't miss it!
