Lots of rock stars end up appearing in comic books, and getting their own comic books. As a comic book fan, I usually view this as, at best, a harmless ego stroke to a very wealthy rock star. Or, at worst, it's a lame marketing ploy.I think Tori Amos' upcoming project, Comic Book Tattoo (out in July) will be different, and hopefully better. She has "cred" in comic book circles, due to her friendship with Sandman creator Neil Gaiman (who will write the intro). She has name-dropped him in her lyrics, and supposedly his character Delirium (from Sandman) is based on her. She's assembled a cool team of comic book talent (read about it here) so I have semi-reserved high hopes for this.
