I certainly connect Hotel California by the Eagles and Howard The Duck (can't remember the issue number though).Dandy Forsdykehttp://dandyforsdyke.webs.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-58224286657577819732011-03-01T20:16:16.933+00:002011-03-01T20:16:16.933+00:00I tend to associate characters with songs not indi...I tend to associate characters with songs not individual stories. For example, I jumped in my seat when I first heard "I am iron man," in the Iron Man trailer. It was exactly how I heard the two in my head together.<br /><br />Lazarus Lupin<br />http://strangespanner.blogspot.com/<br />art and reviewLazarus Lupinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498179029332944165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-50577164121515481562011-03-01T12:17:56.771+00:002011-03-01T12:17:56.771+00:00It didn't when I sold it.

I wonder if it was the same one?<br /><br />I believe the baby with the baboon's heart got a mention in Paul Simon's song "The Boy in the Bubble".

I was given a cool, hardback collection of Don Lawrence's Trigan Empire as a kid, which I somehow associate with Kraftwerk's Autobahn and also with a contemporary news story of a sick child receiving a baboon's heart - even though they have NOTHING in common. I presume I must have been reading the comic when the other items were on the radio, or something.<br /><br />Similarly I got a collection of Love And Rockets one Christmas, as well as Surfer Rosa by the Pixies, which I played to death and now always hear as a soundtrack to the works of Los Bros Hernandez.<br /><br />I'm strange like that...Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.com
