 Comics\n\n"Unauthorized And Proud Of It" chronicles Todd Loren, the 
 controversial publisher of unauthorized comic book biographies of rock 
 stars.  \n\nA life-long music fan, he 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.\n\nLoren 
 went on to publish hundreds of biographies of bands and other celebrities, 
 despite numerous legal challenges from the people he was depicting, often 
 in a scandalous, though accurate fashion. Rock ‘n’ Roll Comics was 
 largely derided by others in the comic book industry and hated by the music 
 business for its “Unauthorized and Proud of It” motto and attitude, yet 
 it was Loren who fought the good fight and won a landmark court case that 
 established First Amendment protections for comics and graphic 
 novels.\n\nAt the height of his success, however, Loren was fatally 
 stabbed. His murder remains unsolved 13 years later, though clues point to 
 Andrew Cunanan, the reported serial killer who has been linked to the 1997 
 slaying of fashion designer Gianni Versace.\n\nFeatures Alice Cooper, Mojo 
 Nixon, comic book publishers Denis Kitchen and Gary Groth, and graphic 
 artists Mary Fleener, Dennis Worden, Robert Williams, and Steve Crompton, 
 "Unauthorized" provides a compelling and unique look into the worlds of 
 independent comics, the music industry and First Amendment rights.\n\nMore
